English Teacher – to start September 2026 Full Time NEW

Closing Date: Midnight Wednesday 6th May 2026

Interview Date: Tuesday 12th May 2026 likely

We are seeking an excellent English teacher to join our outstanding school at an exciting stage of its development, as we prepare students for GCSE and beyond (with our first GCSE cohort completing examinations in 2023). This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic teacher to work within a forward‑thinking and ambitious staff team, supported by an experienced Senior Leadership Team and Head of Department.

Ada Lovelace is one of four schools within the highly successful Twyford Trust, based in the London Borough of Ealing. The Trust is committed to staff development, offering comprehensive CPD, strong career progression opportunities and clear pathways for promotion.

This role would suit a teacher who is passionate about their subject, enjoys working collaboratively, inspires learners, and is committed to contributing to shared goals and continued excellence across the department.

At Ada Lovelace High School, we place a strong emphasis on valuing staff time and supporting professional growth. Our approach is designed to help teachers thrive both inside and outside the classroom. Students finish early on Fridays, giving staff dedicated time for high-quality CPD every Friday afternoon. This ensures that professional development is embedded into the working week. Our commitment to staff wellbeing goes hand in hand with our ambition for excellence, with a centralised academic curriculum alongside shared pastoral systems and resources.

We provide opportunities for colleagues to deepen subject knowledge, engage in research, and undertake further qualifications such as National Professional Qualifications (NPQs). Our CPD programme is comprehensive and forward-thinking, ensuring staff remain up to date with the latest developments in pedagogy and curriculum design.

At Ada Lovelace, we believe the biggest impact happens when we work together as a team. Team culture is central to everything we do, and we regularly remind ourselves that “we are all developing teachers.” Collaboration, consistency, and shared learning are at the heart of our approach.

We Offer

• Exceptional professional development and career progression
• Positive working relationships at all levels
• A supportive Leadership Team
• Opportunities to gain experience within four different Trust schools with a shared commitment to collaboration
