About the Post

We are seeking to appoint an exceptional and inspirational Teacher of English to join our highly successful English department at The Grange School. This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving, passionate team and to play your part in securing the very best for our young people.

The Grange School is a small, nurturing school with a close‑knit community and an unwavering commitment to ensuring every student feels they belong and can achieve highly. Our English departments at Twynham and The Grange work closely together, collaborating on curriculum, assessment and pedagogical approaches. As two schools within a federation, colleagues benefit from a powerful partnership that strengthens both teams, combining the shared expertise, resources and curriculum collaboration that smaller schools rarely have access to on their own.

This post would suit any colleague who is passionate about English, excited by the chance to contribute to a department producing excellent outcomes, and motivated to be part of a school that is improving at pace and driven by its vision. You will join a team that takes great professional pride in its work and is committed to securing the best possible academic and wider experiences for all young people. At Twynham TGS, you will benefit from a strong culture of collaboration, high‑quality coaching, and access to a wide range of CPD opportunities designed to support your continued professional growth.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a talented and ambitious colleague to join a dynamic federation and help shape the future of English teaching across Christchurch. If you have the energy, passion and commitment to make a real difference, we would be delighted to hear from you.
