Teacher Of English

Start date: September 2024

Salary: £30,627 - £44,808 per annum at 2023/2024 scales (depending on experience)

We require an enthusiastic, talented and caring English specialist teacher to join our English Department.

Godstowe is a thriving, busy school enjoying a famous reputation in its field. Approximately a third of our pupils are boarders. The School prepares children for entry, mostly at 13+ but some at 11+, into the leading independent senior schools. The School prides itself in academic excellence, whilst being non-selective at entry. For over 120 years, Godstowe girls have achieved outstanding results. Many have competed successfully for scholarships and awards at prestigious Senior Schools and have represented the School at local and national competitions. At the same time the School provides excellent pastoral care, to ensure that pupils flourish in line with our ethos of encouraging them to be confident, happy and successful.

The successful candidate will join a professional and happy team. At Godstowe, subject teachers in the English Department focus on all aspects of the English curriculum. The School has excellent facilities, including a Drama studio and a modern Library. Strong pastoral support and close links with parents are the cornerstones of our education approach – the post holder may well be asked to be form tutor to a class of Year 5 or 6 children. We would welcome applications from candidates who can also teach other subjects at primary level, as this may aid with our staffing requirements in years to come.

All full-time teachers contribute two hours per week to the extra-curricular programme. We require a qualified and experienced teacher and will consider an ECT for the position.
