English Teacher – Supportive Independent Day and Boarding School

Our client is seeking a committed and enthusiastic English Teacher to join a welcoming independent school in Shropshire.

School Information
This independent co-educational day and boarding school educates around 300 pupils aged 3–16, with boarding available from Year 3 upwards.

The small size ensures excellent pupil–teacher ratios and the ability to give every child individual attention.

Academic outcomes are consistently strong. In 2023, over 90% of Year 11 pupils achieved grades 9–4 in English, with many moving on to selective Sixth Forms and further study at top independent and grammar schools. The English department plays a central role in school life, with enrichment opportunities including debating clubs, drama productions, and public speaking competitions.

The school community is warm and inclusive, with a strong focus on developing character and resilience alongside academic success. Staff benefit from small classes, a collaborative working environment, and opportunities to be involved in the wider life of the school, from co-curricular activities to boarding support.
