Your Impact:
Deliver an engaging, differentiated English curriculum
Inspire a love of language, literature, and communication
Lead and develop the English subject, ensuring innovation
Mentor colleagues and foster continuous improvement
Track and celebrate academic, personal, and emotional progress
Collaborate to create an inclusive, supportive school community
