Barr Beacon School, Old Hall Lane, Walsall, WS9 0RF 

“To be or not to be…?” A great English teacher that is. 

Whether you are new to the profession or you have been teaching for some time, to be truly ‘great’ you need an environment in which pupils genuinely want to learn. An environment in which your colleagues are as geeky about your subject as you are. Here at Barr Beacon School, we can offer just that. With the highest expectations of pupils’ behaviour and effort, we don’t accept excuses.  

We need a talented teacher of English who has the passion to provide pupils with the best possible experience of this fascinating subject. You will know how to get the best out of the children you teach. Could this be you?
