Job overview
Teacher of Geography
Salary MPR1 to UPR3
Lammas School is a secondary school with VI Form provision in Leyton, East London. We have been serving the community for 18 years since we opened in September 2001 and are proud of the impact we are making on the lives of our young people.
In these exceptional times we will do our best to show you the heart of Lammas so that you can get a sense of how well matched you may be to our professional community as a school and indeed as a Trust. Please look at our website (which is rather out-dated and in the process of a total re-build) and explore the Trust website as fully as you can (www.griffinschoolstrust.org). You will see evidence of the shared life of the schools in the Trust in events such as the Science Symposium, the Arts Festival, the Sports Festival and Founders Day.
The Trust really is a family of schools which work closely together within and across phases and geographical hubs. So in joining Lammas you do have good relationships with local authority schools and projects but you also have a strong working relationship with your peers in two secondary schools in Milton Keynes and North Warwickshire as well as day to day involvement with our two GST neighbour primaries, Willow Brook and Riverley, both outstanding and one a shining example of what a Griffin Great School looks and feels like. It is that journey to Griffin Great that informs our development planning. Ofsted validates our progress within a defined national framework: it emphatically does not set our agenda.
Please read the attached Griffin Great descriptors very carefully because that is the culture and performance you will be helping us to build should you join us. Your research into Lammas
will help you see how far we have yet to travel. Ofsted judged us ‘Good’ in 2017 but we know we are some way from Griffin Great.
Having researched sufficiently to decide to apply, please tell us in no more than two sides of A4 in 11 points
(1) why you want to join Lammas School as a Geography Teacher and what you see as our challenges (2) why your personal track record matches or exceeds our requirements.
Please include a full CV with the names and direct contact details of two referees and the completed Safer Recruitment form.
Completed applications should be addressed to Mark Bland and sent to jahmet@thelammas.com
The deadline for application is 12noon on Friday 21 May 2021, interviews to be held on Wednesday 26 May 2021.
If you would like a confidential exploratory call once you have done initial research into Lammas School and the Griffin Schools Trust, please email jahmet@thelammas.com who will make an appointment.

About Lammas School and Sixth Form
About the Griffin Schools Trust
The Griffin Schools Trust (GST) is a family of ten primary and two secondary schools in the Midlands, London and South East. We have a strong track record in making schools much better for children and their families and for the staff who work with us. Our single most important mission is to provide the conditions in which children discover who they are and then go on confidently to take their places in society, making a contribution to the world through the use of their talents. We will never prepare children to know their places.
When schools decide to join us they bring their histories to us and together we turn them into traditions reflecting the Trust’s mission and values whilst preserving and extending the each school’s individuality. We offer a rich curriculum and an unusual range of enrichment and extension clubs and activities. We also have shared traditions so that children form every school feel part of the same family. Every summer term we hold the Griffin Arts Festival. In the spring we have Founders Day and the Science Symposium and in the autumn students compete in the Griffin Science Symposium. All these festivals are linked in an annual theme schools’ four houses compete for a Trust cup which is awarded to the house colour which has accumulated most points from all Trust events. All staff, including the CEO, belong to a house.
Great GST schools have nothing institutional about them and great GST staff are thoughtfully recruited for their excellent knowledge and their broad interests. They are developed by Heads as well as the research and training opportunities offered across the Trust to add their individual magic to the mix. All our schools practice open and distributed leadership and place a high value on creativity as well as growing great talent pipelines to ensure that there are plenty of opportunities for promotion within and beyond the school.
Look at our website and click through to some of the schools as well as the one to which you are applying. We are frequently told that colleagues have found their professional home at GST. Is it yours? We look forward to hearing from you.
