Situated beside Exhibition Road in the heart of central London, we make exceptional use of our location to enrich learning, foster cultural engagement, and inspire a lifelong love of reading and language. As an Apple School, we believe in the thoughtful and purposeful use of technology to enhance teaching and learning. Digital tools are used selectively to support drafting, research, creativity, and collaboration; however, we are clear that the pen still reigns supreme, and that fluent handwriting, sustained writing, and deep engagement with texts remain central to our English curriculum.

As an Apple School, the Head of English will also be expected to model and promote the effective use of technology where it genuinely enhances learning, while maintaining a clear commitment to traditional academic rigour. The successful candidate will recognise that technology supports excellent teaching but does not replace it, and that the pen remains the primary tool for thinking, drafting, and sustained writing, particularly in preparation for examinations and scholarships.
