English Teacher Required - Innovative and Progressive School
Location: Lambeth / Croydon Border
Start Date: Immediate
Contract: Temporary to Permanent
TimePlan Education is excited to be working with a forward-thinking independent school on the Lambeth/Croydon cusp, who are looking for a passionate and progressive English teacher to join their team immediately.
This unique school is redefining the way education is delivered. With a focus on democracy, human creativity, and holistic development, this no-fee-paying independent school is committed to providing a nurturing environment where students can flourish beyond the constraints of traditional education.
Unlike conventional schools, this institution prioritises small class sizes (maximum of 15 students per class), fostering strong relationships between teachers and pupils. Teachers are addressed by their first names, reflecting the school's commitment to a collaborative, inclusive, and democratic learning environment. The school caters for students up to Year 10, offering GCSEs, and places less emphasis on rote learning and testing, favouring a broad and creative curriculum instead.
The Role:
Teaching English across a range of abilities to students aged up to Year 10.
Designing and delivering creative and inspiring lessons that nurture students' love for language and literature.
Encouraging critical thinking, individuality, and creativity in your students.
Contributing to the school's ethos of democratic and forward-thinking education.
Working in an environment where education is about more than just results.
What the School Offers:
A progressive, innovative, and supportive teaching environment.
Small class sizes, enabling personalised learning experiences.
A focus on creativity and individual development over standardised testing.
An opportunity to work in a school that values democracy and community.
The chance to make a lasting impact in a school that celebrates new ideas.
What We're Looking For:
A qualified English teacher with a forward-thinking approach.
Someone who shares the school's values of creativity, inclusivity, and democratic learning.
A teacher who is passionate about nurturing the whole child, not just academic achievement.
This is a temporary-to-permanent position with an immediate start. If you are an enthusiastic English teacher eager to be part of a truly unique and inspiring school, we'd love to hear from you.
