Job Description

MPS/UPS - TLR1B (Currently 12,514)

We are seeking to appoint a dedicated, inspiring and energetic teacher to lead an excellent team, as well as actively contributing to whole school priorities. The post would suit a well-qualified and experienced teacher who is able to lead a team of teachers towards further success. The English Department is consistently high performing at both GCSE and A Level. The successful candidate will be an outstanding teacher of English, able to inspire students and staff. He or she will also have an awareness of the importance of English across the curriculum and will actively contribute to whole school leadership. The post would equally suit a colleague who is looking to consolidate leadership of such a valuable subject, as well as to gain whole school management experience as preparation for senior leadership. In short, we are looking for the best candidate(s) who will have the greatest impact on the school and therefore our wonderful pupils.



The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and organised teacher with a good knowledge of English. It is essential to be able to teach the full age and ability range up to 'A Level. The Department works well together as a team, sharing good ideas and supporting each other.



We are a flourishing 11-18 high school situated in the pleasant and historic town of Framlingham, Suffolk. We are consistently one of the region's highest performing schools.





There is a thirst for learning amongst the pupils and as a parent once remarked, "it's cool to learn here." We have high expectations of our pupils and well qualified staff. Through excellent teaching and learning, pupils make very good progress here. We are very proud of our broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils can genuinely discover and excel in their talents! Pupils progress to a range of destinations from university (including over 10 students to Oxbridge over the past six years), college, training or employment.



Informal visits or conversations are welcome, please contact Mrs Gill Gobbitt to arrange.
