At The King's School we provide an environment that challenges and inspires, supported by an outstanding pastoral care team and a collaborative, passionate staff. As a teacher here, you will have the unique opportunity to encourage pupils in their journey of faith, modelling a meaningful relationship with Jesus that is real and relevant.

Teach engaging, interactive lessons, that inspire pupils in their language learning.
Guide GCSE students following the Pearson/Edexcel course, typically 4-10 students per year group. There would be the option to change to the AQA course if that suited the successful candidate.
Work with an established scheme of work and lesson ideas while having the freedom to shape and expand the curriculum.
Enjoy 50 min lessons that are the perfect length for engaging pupils in a variety of learning methods.

The role is usually spread across three days, with flexibility on exact hours/days to suit your schedule.
