Some English teachers are remembered because they help students achieve excellent grades.
The very best are remembered because they help students discover books they never forget, find confidence in their own writing, and develop the ability to think critically about the world around them.
We're currently working with a highly regarded independent school in Camden that is looking to appoint a Teacher of English from September 2026.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
✔ Small class sizes

About the School
This successful independent school has built an excellent reputation for combining strong academic outcomes with exceptional pastoral care.
Students are engaged, respectful, and genuinely interested in learning. Class sizes are intentionally small, allowing teachers to get to know their students well and create lessons that challenge, support, and inspire every learner.
Walking around the school, there is a calm and purposeful atmosphere. Students are confident without being entitled, ambitious without being overly pressured, and teachers are given the freedom to teach their subject with enthusiasm and individuality.
