Facilitating high-level classroom discussions that encourage students to think critically about historical context and authorial intent.
Supporting the wider literacy of the school, including the promotion of creative writing and public speaking through extracurricular clubs.

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a high-quality degree in English Literature or English Language.
A proven track record of achieving excellent results with high-ability students at Key Stage 4 and 5.
Extensive subject knowledge, including a deep familiarity with a variety of literary eras and critical perspectives.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to inspire a genuine love for reading and analytical thinking.
