What can a secondary 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.

With a growing new school and a large established academy in the same town, there is steady demand for subject teachers, cover for long-term absence and teachers to help shape new departments. Schools in the Fens can find it harder to recruit than city schools, so good teachers are valued and often offered longer placements.

Wisbech is about 21 miles from Peterborough and 13 miles from King's Lynn along the A47, so many of our secondary teachers combine Wisbech placements with work in nearby towns.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and teach engaging lessons across KS3 and KS4, and KS5 where needed
• Follow the department's schemes of work and assessment
• Manage behaviour positively and keep learning on track
• Support students who speak English as an additional language
• Mark work and give clear feedback
• Work with heads of department, pastoral teams and support staff

Who we're looking for

• Qualified secondary teachers (QTS or QTLS) in any subject
• Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
• Experienced teachers looking for flexible supply or a long-term role
• Overseas-trained teachers with the right to work in the UK
