Head of Department, English, Greenwich
About Crimson Global Academy
Crimson Global Academy (CGA) is a world-leading online school with students in more than 30 countries and a teaching staff drawn predominantly from New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. Every one of our teachers is a subject expert, and our strong pastoral care network ensures students learn in a safe and inclusive environment.
Students at CGA study at a level that matches their academic competence rather than their age, which means a significant proportion of our cohort is working ahead of their peer group. Combined with curriculum flexibility, cutting-edge technology and the opportunity to accelerate, CGA offers an unusually rich environment for students with the drive to excel. Our academic results speak for themselves.
About the role
As Head of Department, English, you'll lead a team of teachers delivering A-level English to students around the world. You'll set the academic standard, support and develop teachers, oversee curriculum and assessment, and ensure every student gets a consistently excellent experience, whether they're learning in group classes, small groups, or one-to-one.
You'll report to the Principal and teach 12 of 22 periods, with 10 release periods for leadership work.
What you'll do
Lead the English department: meetings, learning walks, lesson observations, and professional development
Coach and support teachers across all learning modes, including new Da Vinci (1:1) teachers
Own curriculum quality and alignment with A-level specifications
Oversee internal and external examinations, moderation, and post-exam analysis
Monitor student progress and lead interventions where needed
Champion strong digital pedagogy across the team
Teach English classes yourself, modelling great practice
About you
Qualified English teacher with strong A-level experience
Proven leadership or middle-leadership experience in an academic setting
Confident with digital learning platforms and online teaching
Skilled coach who can develop teachers and lift outcomes
Data-literate, organised, and able to balance leadership with teaching
Excellent communicator with students, parents, and colleagues
We look forward to your application!
