Teacher of English - maternity cover (0.6-0.8fte)

Thank you for showing an interest in this post. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference in one of the school’s key departments. The vacancy has arisen due to the maternity leave of the current postholder and is for the period September 2025 – July 2026.

We have 800 students on roll; boys only 11-16, and co-educational in the Sixth Form. The school has long been synonymous with excellence and the school’s reputation for providing a first rate allround education for local students has been strengthened even further over recent years. Our
academic results speak for themselves while our achievements in Sport, Music and other activities are outstanding. We have been recognised as one of the top schools in the country based on our performance in the last few academic years, and students have regularly accepted offers for Oxbridge and the top Universities. The friendly, cheerful atmosphere of the school helps our students enjoy learning and, as they grow into young men and women, we enable them to take increasing responsibility for themselves and for others around them.

To the right candidate, this post will be an extremely rewarding experience, an opportunity to really make a difference. I hope that having read the information and looked at the information on the website, you will decide that Carre’s is the right school for you and that you will make an
