AtWest Exe, one conviction shapes everything: every student and every member ofstaff deserve something exceptional. An exceptional culture to belong to.Exceptional teaching to learn from. An exceptional experience to carry withthem long after they leave.
Fromthat conviction comes the rest of what we do: a curriculum that is rigorous,academic and rich in knowledge, teaching of genuine quality in every room, anda cultural capital programme that opens doors for all of our students, not afortunate few.
Englishsits at the very heart of that ambition. The books students read, the argumentsthey learn to make and the words they learn to command shape what they can goon to do. We are looking for a Leader of English who believes great literatureand powerful language belong to every child, and who wants to lead a departmentthat makes that true.
Every Student, Every Time
Ourvalues become real in the classroom through one promise: Every Student, EveryTime. The student who finds reading hard, the student who is quietly gettingby, the student who is already flying: each is owed the same preciseexplanation, the same demand for their full attention, and the same belief that they willsucceed. Not in some lessons. In every one.
We are looking forsomeone who will
- Lead a knowledge-rich Englishcurriculum that is ambitious, coherent and rooted in great texts
- Model and champion consistentlyexcellent teaching across the department
- Hold high expectations for everystudent and give colleagues the clarity and support to meet them
- Bring energy, warmth and conviction tothe life of the school
- Live our values of brave, selfless andtogether for every child, every time.
Whether you are an established middle leaderlooking to broaden your influence across the school, or an ambitious teacherwith leadership experience ready for the next challenge, we would love to hearfrom you.
