As a Teacher of English you will inspire a love for language and literature through interactive and dynamic English lessons, catering to the diverse needs of students. You will evaluate students' progress, provide constructive feedback, and implement strategies to enhance their language proficiency. You will keep abreast of language teaching methodologies, education trends, and support your head of Department to incorporate innovative approaches into the curriculum.
At Pinner High School, we believe in guiding our students to master not just grammar, but the art of effective communication. In your role as Teacher of English you will focus on building students confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, ensuring a well-rounded language proficiency. Then beyond grammar rules, you will delve into the cultural nuances of the English language, providing insights into idioms, expressions, and cultural contexts to make your students a more fluent and culturally aware communicator.
At Pinner High School, our pedagogical approach is based on the principles of Rosenshine. All our lessons begin with a do now activity, aimed at recalling knowledge. In addition, a high proportion of students are categorised as higher ability, we therefore expect appropriate challenge in learning. Learning episodes contain challenge tasks in addition to main activities which support the progression of all students. Students often use green pens to self assess work and teachers use expert subject knowledge for assessment for learning.
Join a dedicated and collaborative team, working together to enhance the overall educational experience. As a member of the school you will have access to a wealth of CPD opportunities and learning, 3 weeks break at Christmas, access to free parking and free gym access and prospects for additional responsibilities and secondments. We will provide a comprehensive induction and supportive probation, well planned and structured inset days, enhanced benefits after 1 years continuous service and access to coaching and mentoring.
Ignite the Spark. Be the English Teacher Who Makes a Difference!
