TEACHER OF English

Main Scale (Outer London)

Required for September 2023

The Royal Liberty School where “pupils are well behaved, respectful and courteous” and “parents value the sense of community, which is palpable throughout the school” (OFSTED February 2019).

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Teacher of English to join our supportive faculty. English is a very popular subject and students achieve GCSE results well above national average. We are very proud of this success and are looking for a new teacher to join our aspirational team.

This post would be very suitable for an Early Careers Teacher (ECT) looking for their first appointment. ECTs are fully supported by an induction programme delivered by the school and the Empower Alliance.

We take a collaborative view of learning where good practice is shared through a structured INSET programme within school and across the Trust.

Royal Liberty School is a small comprehensive, 11-16 school for boys, located close to Gidea Park Station. We pride ourselves on our strong Sense of community and the excellent behaviour of the students.

Our results have shown impressive improvement over the last 3 years with the majority of subjects consistently above national average;

• English 9 - 4 (82%)
• Maths 9 - 4 (82%)
• English and Maths 9 - 4 (78%)

We recently celebrated our centenary (our main school building has a history dating back over four hundred years) and are proud of our traditions, our strong sense of community and the excellent behaviour of our students. We are part of the Success for All Educational Trust with Redden Court School, Sanders School and Rise Park Academies. As an employee you will be covered by our excellent well-being support and medical cover programme through the School Advisory Service (SAS).
