More than just a teaching position, this is an opportunity to become an integral part of a warm, welcoming, and highly supportive academic community at our Outstanding school located in the historic naval city of Portsmouth. We are seeking a dedicated and empathetic Teacher of English to join us in September 2025, someone who is not only passionate about their subject but also deeply invested in the intellectual development, emotional literacy, and communicative power of our students across Key Stage 3 and, importantly, Key Stage 4 and 5.

As a valued member of our team, commencing in September 2025, with a significant contribution to A-Level teaching, you will:

* Nurture Literary Curiosity: Create a positive and inclusive learning environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to explore the vast world of English language and literature across all key stages, reflecting the diverse voices and narratives within the Portsmouth community.

* Contribute to a Positive Ethos: Embrace our school's inclusive and collaborative culture, where every member of staff is valued, and their contributions to the intellectual and pastoral life of the school are recognised within the Portsmouth community.

* Make a Real Difference: Have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with students and guide them on their journey to becoming confident readers, articulate writers, and insightful thinkers, particularly as they progress through their A-Level studies.

* Enjoy a Supportive Work Environment: Benefit from a leadership team that prioritises staff well-being, provides excellent professional development opportunities in English pedagogy, and fosters a strong sense of community within our Portsmouth school and the English department, with specific support for A-Level teaching and enrichment activities.

We are looking for a qualified English teacher who is not only an excellent practitioner but also a caring and supportive individual with a passion for fostering a deep understanding of English in a dynamic urban environment like Portsmouth, with the ability to inspire and challenge A-Level students. If you are seeking a school within Portsmouth where you can truly make a difference in the lives of young people through English, including significant Key Stage 5 involvement, and feel a strong sense of belonging within a thriving department, we would be thrilled to hear from you for a September 2025 start.
