Teacher of English - Devon, United Kingdom - Devon County Council

Description

Required to start September 2024.

This post is fixed term pending a permanent appointment.

St Peter's is an oversubscribed school, known as a high performing school and nationally recognised for our approaches to character education. Our most recent Ofsted inspection ('Good' November 2019 and SIAMS inspection ('Excellent' May 2019) indicate the significant progress we have made in developing well rounded students who 'live life to the full'. As a Beacon School, Relational and Restorative Approaches are key to how we educate students for a wise, courageous and compassionate community.

We are seeking to appoint a fixed term (for one academic year) Teacher of English to work alongside the Lead Practitioner: English, Subject Learning Leader: English and English Team with a relentless focus in providing the very best outcomes and experiences for students in their care.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and innovative English Teacher to join the English Department at St Peter's for a part time, fixed term post. This is an exciting opportunity to teach both English Language and English Literature across KS3 and 4 and Media.

We are a committed, dynamic and interesting team, who are exploring new approaches and share ideas and resources readily to support one another. If you are committed to ensuring all students make progress in English, work well within a team and are passionate about teaching engaging lessons, then we would love to hear from you.

Our students make working here a real pleasure, and as such we have high expectation for both our students and ourselves.

We offer:

• a welcoming and friendly team of excellent staff

• a supportive working environment

• students with a drive to succeed

A willingness and ability to offer time and energy to our wellbeing programme &/or extra-curricular provision (which we believe adds significant value to our character based approaches to education, including our Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors), will be taken into consideration for applications.

As a Church of England Aided School, in cases of equal merit preference will be given to candidates who are in sympathy with the foundation.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
