Teacher of English

Carterton Community College is a rural college, with a real sense of community, bordering the Cotswolds and within easy commuting distance of Oxford, Cheltenham and Swindon.

We are seeking to appoint a qualified and dedicated Teacher of English to join our established English faculty. We are an ambitious and growing school and seek colleagues with passion and determination to inspire children's love of learning and secure the best outcomes for them.

You will play a pivotal role in supporting and enhancing the quality of teaching and learning across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

It is an exciting time to be at Carterton Community College - we are a good school and pride ourselves on embodying our values. In our recent Ofsted report inspectors found that our students make good progress and behave well, in a school where relationships matter and there is a strong focus on learning. They enjoy their lessons and fully invest in the school and happily rise to the challenge of our high aspirations.

We welcome applications from both ECT's and experienced teachers.

You will have a proven track record of improving progress and raising achievement at all levels and will strive to give students exciting and challenging curriculum opportunities.

The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate:

- A thorough knowledge of the English curriculum.

- Excellent knowledge/experience across Key Stages 3, and 4. Experience at Key Stage 5 is not essential as this can be developed once appointed.

- Passion and dedication in delivering high standards.

- Ability to implement strategies to meet school development targets.

- Outstanding teaching and learning practice, with dedication and enthusiasm for English.

- The ability to work as part of a team.
