Are you looking to work in a Good school with a community working together for the best possible
outcomes for young people and their futures?
It is an exciting time at Wadham School. We are a school that uses an evidence-based approach to
teaching and an ethos and drive for the school to be much more than just learning in lessons. A varied
programme of extra-curricular activities and house competitions provides an exciting opportunity for
staff to be involved in the wider school community. At our core is an aim, through everything that we
do, to develop a sense of hope which will encourage and support students in becoming the best that
they can be. We are a school which supports your progress as a classroom practitioner and there are
plentiful opportunities to enhance and build your experiences outside of the classroom too. In
addition, we are now working towards becoming a regular 11-18 school from September 2022, as a
result of the implementation of school reorganisation on our area, from a three-tier system to the more
regular two-tier, primary/secondary model. This is your chance to be at the forefront of these changes.
Wadham School is friendly, vibrant and forward looking. English is strong subject and is seen as such
amongst the student community. At GCSE in 2019, our results for progress were excellent- where we
ranked 7th in Somerset. Our pass rate was 100% and over 70% achieved a grade 4 or higher in English
Language, as they did in English Literature. ‘A’ level results are good and we offer both English
Literature and English Language at this level. Our sixth form classes are small and therefore we build
strong relationships with our students that complement the teaching and learning. Depending on
experience, ‘A’ level English teaching may be possible for the successful candidate.
English sits within a Curriculum Team which includes Modern Foreign Languages. As well as excellent
support within the team by all members, we actively encourage collaboration and the sharing of good
practice; we believe that by developing a love of learning and having the highest expectations, all
children and young people can excel.
Wadham School serves a beautiful area of South Somerset with excellent links to the wider South West,
Bristol and Bath and direct train links to London from Crewkerne itself and Taunton.
