Dear Mr Green

I enclose an application form for the post of Second in

the English Department at the Barn School.

For the past eight years I have been teaching in a

comprehensive school of 1,200 pupils and have had

experience teaching pupils of varying abilities from 11 to

18. During my time at Prior Court, I have been the
    assistant librarian and was in total charge while the
    librarian was on maternity leave.

Now I feel I am ready for more responsibility and

therefore I should like to apply for the vacant post. If I

were appointed, I would work hard and always do my

best for the school and the pupils.

Yours sincerely

Julie Coombs
