The posting

We are seeking to appoint an exceptional Teacher of English and Lead Practitioner of Literacy to join Robert Blake School at an exciting stage in its development.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious and highly effective practitioner to become part of a thriving English department whilst leading and developing literacy across the school. The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring that every student develops the reading, writing, vocabulary and communication skills needed to achieve academic success and flourish beyond the classroom.

Why join us?

Robert Blake School is a thriving non-selective school of over 1,000 students. Our vision is "Excellence in Learning, Strength in Character" and our values of:

Self-Discipline | Motivation | Aspiration | Respect | Togetherness

lie at the heart of everything we do.

We believe in developing not only academic excellence, but also the character, resilience and confidence that enable young people to succeed throughout their lives. As part of our team, you will play an important role in modelling and nurturing these qualities in the students we serve.

Robert Blake School has recently joined United Learning, one of the country's largest and most successful academy trusts. United Learning's mission is to bring out "The Best in Everyone" and we are apologetically ambitious for every child, regardless of background, prior attainment or need.

  • Deliver coaching, modelling and professional development to staff.
  • Promote a culture where literacy is everyone's responsibility.
  • Develop and evaluate literacy interventions to improve student outcomes.
  • Work closely with leaders, departments and colleagues across United Learning to deliver sustained improvement.

What We Are Looking For

The successful candidate will be:

  • An outstanding classroom practitioner with a strong track record of success.
  • Passionate about English and committed to inspiring a love of reading, writing and literature.
  • Knowledgeable about current literacy research and evidence-informed practice.
  • Experienced in supporting, coaching and developing colleagues.
  • Aligned to our values of Self-Discipline, Motivation, Aspiration, Respect and Togetherness.
  • Committed to building character as well as academic achievement.
  • Someone who passionately believes that all children can achieve, no matter what their background, starting point or need.
  • Ambitious, reflective and committed to continual professional development.
  • Excited by the opportunity to influence whole-school improvement and leave a lasting legacy.

What We Offer

  • Competitive Lead Practitioner salary and benefits.
  • Membership of the Teachers' Pension Scheme.
  • Extensive professional development through United Learning.
  • Access to national networks of outstanding practitioners and leaders.
  • Exceptional opportunities for career progression across a growing family of schools.
