St. Olave’s Grammar School is a forward-looking selective Church of England school where our naturally able and inquisitive pupils are a delight to teach. The school was judged Outstanding in all areas in November 2024. The school prioritises the wellbeing, dignity and morale of its staff and pupils, actively investing in CPD as we very much feel that people make our environment.
We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic and inspirational Teacher of Classics. This is a maternity cover role. The Department has a good number of students taking Latin at GCSE and A-Level as well as A-Level Classical Civilisation. In the Sixth Form we have large numbers of pupils applying from outside to study Latin and Classical Civilisation. Traditionally, though not exclusively, we have offered Greek to those studying Classics at university. Many of our GCSE and A-Level students also attend the Bryanston Greek Summer School.
The successful candidate should have the capability to teach across the secondary age range and be able to deliver creative, challenging and thought-provoking lessons, with an emphasis on creativity and collaboration.
