Our English department

The English department at Westminster Academy achieves outstanding student outcomes thanks to its energised, passionate team of teachers, whose exceptional subject knowledge and dedication is highly valued by students. We are now looking for an outstanding teacher to join this successful team.

Our English curriculum and pedagogy

We prepare our students for GCSE by teaching challenging, engaging content from Year 7 onwards and our KS4 students benefit from our forward-thinking, personalised and collaborative approach; our results with our Year 11s confirm that this approach works. In 2019, 86% of students achieved a Grade 9 - 4 in English Literature, and 76% of students achieved a Grade 9 - 4 in English Language. Students have continued to achieve impressive outcomes during the pandemic, thanks to the success of our remote learning provision.

At KS5, the Academy offers IB English Literature, and IB English Language and Literature, offering teachers specialised training with the IB, stimulating curriculum content and the chance to approach English with a truly global perspective. The department is pioneering IB hub days at Westminster Academy to allow teachers the opportunity to collaborate with IB English teachers from across the UK, benefitting from seminars with leading academics and IB educators. Our English department has achieved world-class results at IB, and is proud to have supported students to earn places on English courses at Oxbridge.

The ideal candidate will be:

• An excellent classroom teacher who is committed to the success of each individual student
• Experienced in teaching the relevant subject(s) with a relevant university degree
• Able to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to their own professional growth and development
