Teacher of English

Felpham Community College is an 11-18 local authority, mixed comprehensive with 1600 students on roll and a successful sixth form. In October 2024 OFSTED confirmed our 'Good' status originally achieved in January 2016.

We are seeking to appoint a teacher of English to join an established and effective team of specialists. This will be a stimulating and rewarding post for an enthusiastic teacher to join a team of nine teachers.

The department has detailed, well-resourced schemes of work for every key stage that allow teachers to teach well planned and structured lessons. Teachers regularly share ideas and work collaboratively to develop and improve these schemes of work and lessons to ensure high standards of teaching and learning.

The successful applicant will be keen to immerse themselves in this effective team, contributing to the future development of the department. They will be required to teach English across key stages 3 and 4 and the ability range. There is also the possibility of KS5 teaching for suitably qualified candidates. As a Gold Unicef Rights Respecting school, a desire to build strong, effective relationships with students and staff to foster a cohesive, inclusive, and positive school environment is also sought.

Please visit our website (https://www.felpham.com/) for more information and an application pack.

Closing date for applications is: 9am, Monday 11 May 2026.

Interview dates will be advised.

We ask that candidates submit their application to jobs@felpham.org.uk as soon as possible as some interviews may take place before the closing date.

This school and West Sussex County Council are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment.
