Teacher of English with Responsibility (area of responsibility to be agreed with successful candidate) To start September 2022 MPS/UPS + TLR (TLR negotiable dependent on successful applicant’s experience) Not suitable for ECT applications At the Telford Priory School we believe that it is a matter of social justice that all students receive an ambitious, diverse, powerful knowledge-rich curriculum, and that they are taught it well and work hard so that they truly learn the curriculum, taking it with them into the world. We prize subject specialist knowledge and give staff the time and training to develop subject curricula and teaching expertise that bring students into the “great conversations”, teaching them the knowledge and scholarship to experience the best in each of our subjects. We look to research and cognitive science to inform our teaching practice, and employ retrieval, expert explanations, lots of independent practice and responsive teaching within the remits of each subject specialism. We embrace a culture of continuous improvement and are constantly looking to improve our practice through staff reading, engagement on Twitter and blogs, membership of subject associations and attending conferences. We are committed to teacher wellbeing as a genuine outcome of rewarding, intellectually stimulating work with no pointless or performative activities. We have no written reports, twice-yearly whole-school data drops, centralised detentions, whole-class feedback as part of our commitment to a happy, satisfied, energised staff. At the foundation of everything we do is a belief that children must behave well in school and that systems and culture must support this. Excellent behaviour enables excellent teaching but perhaps even more importantly it allows children to be happy and feel safe in school, and to develop into positive, engaged, global citizens. Staff and students alike are constantly striving to “become the best versions of ourselves”. The successful candidate will:
- Have a passion for achieving excellent outcomes for young people
- Have a real enthusiasm for their subject and a commitment to teaching English
- Teach engaging and challenging lessons that are grounded in cognitive science informed pedagogy
- Be able to in still in students a love of English

- Recognise the value of learning beyond the classroom and help shape global citizens by enhancing the understanding of the world we live in
- Have the willingness to work with colleagues and reflect upon their practice
