What can an English teacher expect in Wisbech?

Wisbech has two state secondary schools, both run by Brooke Weston Trust: Thomas Clarkson Academy on Corporation Road, an 11–18 school with around 1,300 students, and The Wisbech Academy on Weasenham Lane, a new 11–16 school that is growing year by year. Marshland High School is just over the Norfolk border in West Walsoken.

Reading and literacy are a big focus in Wisbech schools. Many students arrive speaking English as an additional language, and schools need English teachers who can build vocabulary, reading fluency and confident writing alongside GCSE literature.

Wisbech has plenty of local history to bring into the classroom, from the Georgian buildings on the North Brink to Peckover House and the story of Thomas Clarkson, the abolitionist born in the town.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and teach English lessons across KS3 and KS4, and KS5 where needed
• Teach GCSE English language and English literature set texts
• Develop students' reading, vocabulary and extended writing
• Support students learning English as an additional language
• Mark work and give clear, actionable feedback
• Contribute to whole-school literacy and reading for pleasure

Who we're looking for

• Qualified English teachers (QTS or QTLS)
• Teachers with EAL or literacy intervention experience
• Early Career Teachers looking for their first English post
• Overseas-trained English teachers with the right to work in the UK

Frequently asked questions

Is EAL experience important?
It helps. Many Wisbech students speak English as an additional language, so experience of supporting them is valued.

Do you have A level English roles?
Occasionally. Thomas Clarkson Academy has a sixth form, so KS5 English roles do come up.

How quickly can I start?
Once your registration and safeguarding checks are complete, many teachers start within days.
