This role is suitable for ECT applicants or applicants currently training to teach.

We are looking for an inspirational English teacher to join our dynamic and successful department. Ealing Fields is an academically aspirational school with outstanding examination results and exemplary behaviour for learning. Our English outcomes are among the best nationally, according to national Progress measures, achieving P+1.6 in English and, most pleasingly, P+1.59 in English for disadvantaged students in 2024. This demonstrates not only our commitment to outstanding teaching and curriculum, but our commitment to closing social and economic gaps through the education we offer. We have fostered a close-knit school community with a strong set of values, built around the motto of enabling our students to have ‘life in all its fullness’.

We pride ourselves on the exceptional professional development we offer our teachers, including weekly CPD and coaching. Teachers work collaboratively within the department, with a highly developed curriculum and lesson resources in place and a very supportive staff body and leadership team. As a school within the highly successful Twyford Trust, we also offer exciting development and promotion prospects.

The main purpose of this teaching role is to achieve outstanding examination results for all classes taught, to lead an outstanding tutor group within a pastoral year team and to promote the school’s ethos and vision through, for example, active engagement with the school’s house system.

Ealing Fields is easily accessible by public transport with the Piccadilly line a short walk away and regular buses to Ealing Broadway which is served by the Central, District and Elizabeth lines. Our staff are on the inner London pay scales and we welcome applications from both experienced teachers and ECTs.
