Assistant Director of English

The Wren School
Reading, Berkshire

Job Description

We Are The Wren.

A school that puts its staff at the centre. A community that is built on the values of Kindness, Ambition, and Respect with ethical, honest leadership at every level.

We are committed to this because people matter.

We are an organisation that values individuals.

It is why we pay our teachers more than other local schools, why we not only support but embrace flexible working opportunities to suit the needs, lifestyles and career paths of our team.

It is why we have a culture of growth and development that provides the opportunities for everyone to flourish through bespoke professional development and a climate of coaching.

It is why we believe that you shouldn’t always have to say ‘no’ because of work. Why we recognise you as parents, partners, siblings and friends and that you shouldn’t miss out on those key events and commitments.

It is why our wellbeing charter and committee ensure your health and wellbeing are front and centre. Why we give all staff a Wellness Day to take whenever they need, for whatever they want and why we offer extra days off by running twilight professional development sessions.

We Are Different. We Are Bold. We Are The Wren.

At The Wren, we challenge ourselves to become better day by day; driving our school community forward so that we can offer our students an exceptional education. We share an ambitious and inspirational vision that;

‘Each child, regardless of background, will receive a world-class education and be nurtured , challenged and inspired to aim high.’

We believe that every young person must receive an exceptional education; one that nurtures a love of learning and empowers students to achieve their best, one that challenges, inspires and develops them as individuals and one that ensures all students have the tools to be fully equipped for their future.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and driven Assistant Director of English to join our team. We are looking for a teacher who is ready to challenge and develop our students, who is passionate about their subject and who is keen and ready to help shape the learning of English across the school.

If our vision, values and ethos match your own philosophy, then we hope you will take the next step and apply through My New Term.

Do not delay in applying early as suitable candidates may be invited to interview prior to the closing date.
