Chessington English Faculty
The English team currently consists of five specialist teachers. This vacancy has arisen due to our growing school and Faculty.
The Faculty has a good blend of age and experience and gets along extremely well together as a team. The Faculty regularly enjoys mentoring trainee English students in their teaching practice.
The aims of the Faculty are:
• to ensure that every student, regardless of ability, reaches his/her full potential
• to ensure that each student on leaving school has the literacy and cultural skills for the next stage of their educational journeyThe students are set in ability groups for their English lessons, but these are fluid and monitored regularly. We follow our own scheme of work which we have developed over the last few years, and our GCSE exam board is AQA.
The English classrooms are located together in our own corridor, with teachers having their own classroom. Each classroom is equipped with a projector, visualiser and interactive whiteboard.
