Why come to Latimer? This is a fantastic school to work in: as a result of our success and popularity we are over-subscribed and have a very strong positive reputation. On interview we ask candidates for their impressions of the school and without fail they comment on how wonderful our students are, the supportive team ethos amongst staff and how friendly and welcoming the school is.
Ofsted April 2023:
Pupils are happy to attend this school. The school’s values include honesty, excellence, ambition, respect and teamwork. The school’s culture is rooted in these values. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. Staff have high expectations, and pupils live up to these.
Staff are proud to work at the school. They feel well supported by leaders in respect of workload, well-being and managing pupils’ behaviour. Staff value the professional development they receive.
We genuinely care about our staff, their well-being and their professional development: we are a happy team, committed to working collaboratively and sharing the very best practice. This was very much recognised in our most recent Ofsted Inspection, where we sustained our Good rating. If you would you like to be part of a welcoming school community then you will not want to miss out on this opportunity to be appointed as a Teacher of English.
If you are an outstanding teacher it really is worth applying for this post. We are seeking to appoint a candidate who is passionate about English; a team player who will thrive on collaboration and team work; someone who really wants to make a difference! There is likely to be the chance to teach a second subject, PSHE, RS, Psychology or KS3 Humanities, so if you have additional skills or experience please mention them in your application.
Although this is a full-time position, 0.8 FTE will be considered for the right candidate.
We welcome applications from trainees or experienced staff alike. We also have a strong track record of staff development.
For an application form and further details, please visit the teaching vacancies page on our website. Alternatively, please email vacancies@latimer.org.uk
Closing date: 9.00 am on Monday 24 February 2025.
Early applications are encouraged as we will review applications as we receive them, and applicants may be contacted before the closing date.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post will be subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure.
