We are looking for a subject specialist who can ignite within our students a passion for English Language and Literature, ensuring they have a real love of English, and as a result, achieve their very best.

- You will set exceptionally high standards in the classroom.

This is an exciting time in our school’s development, and indeed within the English Department.

Our English department is well-led by a highly skilled, experienced leader, and we are proud of our innovative team of English teachers, who are dedicated to the achievement of all of our young people.
We can offer you a teaching post in a vibrant 11-18 comprehensive school on the beautiful north Cornwall coast. You will be well-supported, trusted to innovate, and expected to contribute fully to the department.
We have an excellent programme for new teaching staff and have a bespoke Early Career Framework programme for all new teachers.
