English Teacher Haringey September 2026

If you are interested in applying for this job, please make sure you meet the following requirements as listed below.
A outstanding, university-focused sixth form in Haringey is seeking an exceptional English Teacher to join their highly regarded faculty from September 2026. This is a permanent English Teacher role within a sixth form college rated Outstanding by Ofsted, celebrated for its transformative approach to post-16 education and its remarkable record of placing students from diverse backgrounds into the country's most competitive universities.

About the School
This Haringey sixth form serves a cohort of highly motivated, academically ambitious students drawn from across North London - many of whom will be the first in their family to attend university. English is taught at A-Level with genuine intellectual rigour, encouraging students to engage critically and independently with literature and language in ways that prepare them not just for examinations but for the demands of degree-level study. The ethos here is unashamedly aspirational - every English Teacher is expected to know their students deeply, stretch them relentlessly, and champion their potential without exception. Oxbridge and Russell Group university preparation is embedded into the fabric of the curriculum, and the results speak for themselves.

What the School Offers
A sixth form environment where every English Teacher works exclusively with motivated, post-16 students committed to academic excellence
Strong university guidance infrastructure, with staff actively involved in UCAS, personal statement, and interview preparation
A collegiate staff culture built around scholarship, high expectations, and genuine pride in student outcomes
Structured CPD with access to university partnerships and subject-specific academic development opportunities
A school where the ambition of the students will push you to be a better teacher every single day

The Role
As an English Teacher , you will deliver A-Level English Literature and/or Language with intellectual depth and precision, designing lessons that develop students' critical thinking, close reading, and academic writing to the highest level. You will support students through the full A-Level journey, contribute to university preparation programmes, and build the kind of trusted, mentoring relationships with students and families that define sixth form teaching at its very best.

What the School is Looking For
This permanent English Teacher position will suit candidates who:
Hold British QTS or equivalent through a UK-accredited teacher training programme
Graduated with a 2:1 or above in English or English Literature from a reputable UK university - Russell Group or Oxbridge strongly preferred
Have meaningful A-Level or sixth form teaching experience within a UK school or college setting
Can demonstrate strong pupil outcomes at A-Level and a clear passion for literary and linguistic scholarship
Are confident supporting students through competitive university applications including Oxbridge
Are legally entitled to work in the UK - visa sponsorship is not available

Salary & Contract
Inner London MPS: £40,317 to £52,300, with UPS up to £62,496. TLR opportunities available for candidates with relevant leadership or enrichment responsibility.

LAE-style sixth forms are rare - places where academic ambition and social mobility sit side by side and reinforce each other. If you are an English Teacher who believes that where you come from should never limit where you end up, and you want to spend your career proving it, this is the role for you.
