Drama & English Teacher

NOW CASTING: DRAMA & ENGLISH TEACHER

Permanent full-time, part-time considered for the right candidate

Application Deadline: Friday 8 May, Noon

Line-leader. Story-spinner. Cue-caller. Comma-corrector.

Are you the kind of person who gets goosebumps during a good monologue and secretly cheers when a student finally nails the difference between “their”, “there” and “they’re”?

We’re on the hunt for a Drama & English Teacher with a flair for the theatrical and a passion for punctuation — someone who can bring Shakespeare to life and help Year 8 write a persuasive speech about why pineapple belongs on pizza.

What you’ll be doing:

• Inspiring students aged 7 to 16 with stories, scripts, and scene-stealing lessons
• Turning classrooms into stages and stages into magic
• Helping shy students find their voices, and chatty ones find their punctuation
• Directing plays, leading workshops, and possibly refereeing a heated debate on which Hogwarts house is best
• Teaching grammar without groans, and drama without drama (well… the bad kind)

You are:

• Part teacher, part director, part motivational speaker
• Fluent in metaphors and stage directions
• The type of person who owns at least one mug with a literary quote
• Ready to jump between Macbeth and creative writing without missing a beat

Bonus points if you:

• Can cry on cue
• Have strong opinions about semicolons
• Aren’t afraid of glitter, improv, or opening night nerves

Final line: If you believe learning should be lively, language should be loved, and every child deserves a standing ovation at some point — then we’ve saved you the starring role.

Apply now. Take your place in the spotlight.

We are uncompromising on safeguarding and wellbeing. These apply to children and to our staff. Our collaborative working environment promotes both personal and professional development and supports wellness and respect in the workplace

As a result, we’ll need a completed application form rather than just a CV. You’ll need to be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service
