TEMPORARY MATERNITY COVER

MPR/UPR (suitable for ECT’s)

We are looking for an energetic and passionate teacher to join our English Department on a temporary basis to cover maternity leave from February 2025.

You would be expected to teach English to KS3 and KS4 as a minimum and as such previous experience of teaching GCSE English is essential.

Huntington is an 11-18 co-educational comprehensive school with a Sixth Form taking our total student numbers to approximately 1516, which includes over 300 students in the Sixth Form. Our students achieve excellent results, year-in, year-out, both at GCSE and A-level.

“The curriculum is far-reaching, diverse and exciting. The pupils at this school know what they are learning and why. Leaders have made a conscious decision that the pupils who come to Huntington receive a well-rounded education that enables them to explore subjects in great depth over extended periods. As a result, the pupils thrive.” - Ofsted Nov 2023

Our examination results for English were excellent last year with a contributing factor being our committed and outstanding team of English teachers. We are very proud of what is on offer to students at Huntington School and during our recent Ofsted Inspection they recognised this in their report, stating that ‘Staff and pupils value reading. Sixth-form pupils support pupils who are in the earlier stages of reading. The texts that pupils engage with are appropriate and interesting. Pupils talk avidly about the characters and storylines created by authors’
