The Role

Required for September 2019
 
We seek an enthusiastic, well-qualified and creative teacher of English to join our high performing English department. The ability to teach Media or Film Studies at Key Stage 4 or 5 would be an advantage.

This post is suitable for either an NQT, for whom excellent support would be available or an experienced practitioner with the possibility of a TLR for Media/Film responsibility. As the lead partner in the Wandle Teaching School Alliance we can offer exceptional opportunities for professional development.

The English department achieved 90% 9-4 at GCSE in 2018 and has consistently been in the top 10% of English departments nationally for value-added over the past 8 years. At A Level the results are equally robust with students consistently making exceptional progress. Media is one of our Arts College specialist subjects with excellent accommodation and facilities with consistently outstanding results across KS4 and KS5. I.C.T. in both English and Media are well-developed.

Chestnut Grove is a high performing, 11-18, multi-cultural school in Balham, South London. Our motto is a ‘Creative Learning Community’, demonstrating a commitment to providing our students with an innovative and exciting curriculum. We have recently undergone a multi-million pound building programme which has provided staff and students with a modern building.
