Teacher of English

About this role

At West Exe, one conviction shapes everything: every student and
every member of staff deserve something exceptional. That means an exceptional
culture to belong to, exceptional teaching to learn from, and an exceptional
experience to carry with them long after they leave.

Everything else we do follows from that conviction. We offer a
curriculum that is rigorous, academic and rich in knowledge. We expect teaching
of genuine quality in every room. And our cultural capital programme opens
doors for all of our students, not just a fortunate few.

English sits at the very heart of that ambition. The books
students read, the arguments they learn to make and the words they learn to
command shape what they can go on to do. We are looking for a teacher of
English who believes great literature and powerful language belong to every
child, and who wants to help make that true in every lesson they teach.

Every Student, Every Time

Our values become real in the classroom through one promise:
Every Student, Every Time. That covers the student who finds reading hard, the
student who is quietly getting by and the student who is already flying. Each
is owed the same precise explanation, the same demand for their full attention,
and the same belief that they will succeed. That promise holds in every lesson,
not just some of them.

We are looking for someone who will:

In return, we offer:

• A
  well-planned, shared curriculum, so your time goes into teaching well
  rather than starting from scratch
• A
  supportive, collaborative English department
• High-quality
  professional development as part of the Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust

This role suits an experienced teacher, an ECT ready to take on
their first post, or someone returning to the classroom. Although this is a
fixed-term post, it is a real chance to see how we work and to develop your
practice in a school that takes teaching seriously. We would love to hear from
you.
