Teacher of English

This is an exciting opportunity to teach English at one of the UK’s leading co-educational boarding schools. 

Repton is a school where heritage meets ambition. Academic standards are high and pupils thrive in an environment that values intellectual curiosity, creativity and personal growth. The English Department lies at the heart of academic life at the School, delivering a rich and challenging curriculum from Key Stage 3 through to iGCSE and A Level English Literature. 

We are seeking an outstanding Teacher of English to join us from September 2026. The successful candidate will be an inspiring and reflective practitioner, passionate about literature and language, and committed to delivering first‑class teaching across the full age and ability range. This role would suit either an early‑career teacher keen to develop their practice within a strong and supportive department, or an experienced teacher seeking a purposeful next step. 

We offer an attractive remuneration package, including a generous pension scheme, fee remission for dependents, housing, health insurance, and a strong commitment to professional development. Staff at Repton benefit from exceptional facilities and the opportunity to engage with our global family of schools. 

Candidates should submit their application via the Repton Recruitment Hub, accompanied by a covering letter and the names of two professional referees.  

The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 5 June 2026.  Interviews will take place at Repton on Wednesday 10 June 2026.

Due to the high number of applicants, it is not possible to respond to every application individually, therefore candidates will only be contacted if successful in the short-listing stage.  

Early applications for this role are encouraged and we reserve the right to appoint before the closing date for the position.  

About Repton School

Repton is the ancient capital of Mercia, and the School, founded in 1557 from a bequest from Sir John Port of Etwall, was established on the site of a 7th century Anglo-Saxon Benedictine abbey and latterly a 12th century Augustinian priory and the School today incorporates many of the original buildings from the estate.

The School has over one thousand pupils across the Prep and Senior School, making it large enough to achieve excellence in and out of the classroom, yet small enough for individuals to grow and succeed. Repton and Repton Prep have always enjoyed a very close relationship and in 2020, the schools became a through-school.

At Repton Senior, each pupil, whether day or boarding, is a member of a House. Academic standards are high and creative activities, including music, art, drama and

design, flourish. The School has a national profile in sport, in particular in football, hockey, cricket and swimming. Our pupils thrive both in and out of the classroom and they develop the skills, qualities and values that will lead to a successful life. 

Repton was one of the first British schools to set up overseas schools with the establishment of Repton School Dubai in 2007, and the development of a community of international schools is key to Repton’s future vision. Currently, Repton has schools in Dubai (2), Abu Dhabi (2), China, and Egypt, with plans to open a further four more over the next few years. Repton also includes five schools in the UK (Repton, Repton Prep, St Wystan’s, Vinehall and Marlborough House) with the ambition to grow its UK family of schools.
