William Edwards has a strong English department and regularly achieves outcomes at GCSE well above the national average in both English Language and English Literature. It is a vibrant team with a strong emphasis on collaboration, creativity and professional development. A number of the team have been trained by us via the Thurrock Teaching School which is located at the school.
William Edwards is a very popular, oversubscribed 11-16 school, judged 'outstanding' by OfSTED.

We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic teacher to join our highly committed English team. We welcome applications from newly qualified colleagues or those in the first few years of their career. The training and development we offer is second to none and with a new trust Secondary School recently approved by the DfE and due to open next year, continued career progression in the future is a real possibility.
