Job overview
LOGS is a very happy and friendly school set in the heart of lovely Lewes. Our pupils are proud of their school and we place a high value on life outside of the school day and know the importance of a work/life balance.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and engaging teacher of Drama from January 2020. The successful candidate will teach across all key stages and will be part of the Practical and Performing Arts Faculty. Experience of teaching the new 9-1 GCSE would be a distinct advantage as would a proven record of results.
Performing and Practical Arts are highly valued subjects at Lewes Old Grammar School. Drama is a popular choice for many pupils and we have a healthy uptake to study it at GCSE. The school is also very passionate about performance. Many of our pupils relish performance opportunities and want to be involved in Drama. There is a regular programme of productions at LOGS. The successful candidate will be expected to support these productions but there is no expectation to lead them particularly in the first two terms. The successful candidate will be joining a highly supportive team of professionals.
If you feel you can play a strong and supportive role in our school in developing pupils both through the curriculum and extra-curricular activities then we would be delighted to hear from you.
Visits are strongly engaged ahead of application.
