Job details

To start January 2027

Could you inspire a love of English in a school where relationships matter and every student is known?
We are seeking an enthusiastic Teacher of English to join our welcoming school community. You will teach across Key Stages 3 and 4, helping students develop confidence as readers, writers and speakers, alongside the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
Lady Hawkins’ School is a small, growing secondary school in the rural market town of Kington. We combine high expectations with a supportive, restorative approach, working closely with families to help our students achieve their best.
You will be joining a successful English department with strong GCSE outcomes. In 2026, 78% of students achieved grade 4 or above in English. This is an opportunity to build on that success and help more students develop confidence and a love of the subject.
We are looking for someone who brings strong subject knowledge, thoughtful teaching and a commitment to making English accessible and challenging for all learners. You will build positive relationships, work collaboratively with colleagues and contribute to the wider life of the school.
In return, we offer a friendly and supportive staff team, opportunities to develop your practice and the chance to make a meaningful contribution to a close school community.

Lady Hawkins’ School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointment is subject to satisfactory safeguarding checks, including an enhanced DBS check and references.
