Director of English

An important part of the Trust’s strategy for school improvement is to increasingly grow the capacity for specialist outstanding practitioners. You will be able to demonstrate successful leadership with significant curriculum experience in your specialist area. You will have a proven track record of examination success and be able to evidence that you are a consistently good to outstanding teacher who can demonstrate and model the qualities required for this key leadership role. You will be joining a team of English directors, working under the leadership of a senior director of subject, and your key role will be to work with curriculum leaders and teachers throughout the trust in order to accelerate the pace of improvement. As part of this, you will contribute to the development of teaching and learning within the subject, will be part of refining the trust-wide English curriculum, and will be jointly responsible for ensuring academic success. Although you will be based at an academy in the North West of England, providing you with an opportunity to be part of a leadership team, regular travel across the North West region will be necessary in supporting curriculum leadership and teacher development throughout the trust.
