Francis Holland School, Regent’s Park, was founded in 1878 by the Reverend Canon Francis Holland and is regarded today as one of London’s most academically selective girls’ independent day schools. The school is situated next to Regent’s Park and has a reputation for its friendly, cohesive atmosphere. The ISI Inspection Report in March 2022 assessed Francis Holland as ‘Excellent’ in all key areas of school life.
The Classics department comprises the Head of Department and four other members of staff, two of whom are part-time. The department regularly leads residential tours to Italy and Greece, runs Classics-related co-curricular clubs, and organises visiting speakers and visits to Classical events throughout the year. All FHS staff are expected to make a significant contribution to the school’s extensive co-curricular provision of clubs and societies, beyond lessons.
The successful applicant will have the ability to teach Latin and Classical Civilisation from Year 7 up to A Level. The ability to teach Classical Greek at A Level and to Oxbridge is desirable but not essential. All members of the department are expected to contribute to co-curricular Oxbridge teaching, as required. All FHS staff teach Sixth Formers who choose to study an Extended Project Qualification beyond lesson time.
