TEACHER OF ENGLISH

Main Scale or UPS

Full-Time

Required from September 2024

Cromwell Community College is a ‘Good’ school, which aspires to be an outstanding school. We look to our English Faculty to be a driving force towards this aspiration.

We are looking to appoint an inspirational English teacher to join our successful team at Cromwell Community College.  The successful candidate will be teaching across KS3 and KS4, and possibly KS5.  There may also be opportunities to teach drama in both KS3 and KS4.

We are a popular, growing and successful school. Pupils enjoy their English lessons and staff are hardworking, enthusiastic and committed. We are a well-established, collaborative department who aim to be outstanding role models of English to our pupils. We are an outward looking team with a keen interest in up to date pedagogical ideas and methods. An array of subject specific CPD is offered to our department to build our subject knowledge. Many extra-curricular opportunities are provided for our pupils to build a love and passion for our subject. We are seeking to appoint a dynamic, creative and well-qualified colleague who will be committed to ensuring the highest levels of achievement for our pupils at Cromwell Community College.

We are a growing, successful and oversubscribed school, striving for Outstanding.  We recently become an all-through school, the first in Cambridgeshire, and have pupils from age 4 – 18.   The addition of our primary phase, over the coming years, will also provide lots of additional opportunities for staff to work in the primary phase as well as the secondary and Post-16.  It is imperative that we ensure our pupils access a curriculum which is relevant and ambitious throughout their journey at Cromwell.  This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is ambitious and wants to work collaboratively with the primary phase in addition to further improve GCSE and A-Level outcomes.

If you are enthusiastic, ambitious and passionate about English and recognise its importance for the development of all pupils, and will strive to provide excellent results in our already successful department, we would like to hear from you.  Cromwell Community College offers the chance to join a strong and experienced team and for you to develop your skills and enhance your career development through a wealth of CPD opportunities which is a particular strength of the Trust.

We can offer you an excellent opportunity for career progression both within the college, and the Trust, as well as a supportive professional environment with a highly visible and ambitious leadership team.
