English and Drama Teacher | Independent School | Taunton, Somerset
The Opportunity
An exceptional independent school in Taunton is looking to appoint an inspiring English and Drama Teacher to join its thriving Arts and Humanities community. This role offers the chance to teach motivated, articulate students in an environment where academic ambition, creativity and pastoral care sit at the heart of school life.
You will be part of a collaborative staff body that values scholarship, performance, and the development of confident communicators both on the page and on the stage.
Why This Role Stands Out
Small class sizes that allow for ambitious, discussion-rich teaching
Students who are curious, respectful and eager to participate
Excellent facilities for theatre, performance and literary study
Strong culture of professional trust and development
Extensive co-curricular programme including productions, clubs and competitions
What You’ll Be Doing
Teaching English and Drama across KS3–KS5
Preparing students for GCSE and A-Level examinations
Directing or supporting performances, showcases and productions
Contributing to curriculum development and enrichment
Providing pastoral support as part of the wider school community
Who We’re Looking For
You will be:
A knowledgeable graduate in English, Drama or a related discipline
Passionate about literature, theatre and the power of communication
Skilled at inspiring high standards of analysis, interpretation and performance
Organised, reflective and keen to collaborate with colleagues
Committed to inclusive practice and student wellbeing
QTS, PGCE or an equivalent qualification is expected, along with the right to work in the UK.
About the School in Taunton
The school has a long-standing reputation for academic excellence combined with warmth, character and opportunity. Pupils achieve highly while also benefiting from a broad programme of drama productions, public speaking, creative writing, music and enrichment activities.
Staff enjoy modern teaching spaces, a well-stocked library, strong leadership support and a culture that encourages innovation in the classroom.
Salary & Benefits
Salary will be competitive and aligned with the school’s independent pay scale, reflecting experience and qualifications.
