Job overview
This is an opportunity to join a popular Classics department, working with the Head of Classics and two other colleagues. Latin is taught as part of the core curriculum in years 7 and 8. In year 9, students choose two from Spanish, French and Latin/Classical Civilisation. In year 10, Latin is offered as a GCSE option and there is typically one group of students taking Latin in each of years 10 and 11. We follow the Eduqas (WJEC) specification for GCSE Latin, taking the option of studying the Roman Civilisation unit (Roman Britain). In the sixth form we usually have a small group studying each of Latin and Classical Civilisation in each of Y12 and Y13. At A Level we follow the OCR specifications for each subject.
The successful candidate will assist with teaching Latin and Classical Civilisation at key stages 4 and 5, sharing some GCSE teaching and also sharing one Year 12 A level group. The post is for the equivalent of one to two days a week, dependent on the availability and expertise of the successful candidate. You must be available to teach on at least two days of the week.

About d'Overbroeck's
THE SCHOOL
d’Overbroeck’s is a co-educational independent day and boarding school in Oxford for students aged 11 – 18. The school roll currently stands at around 750, and this is set to grow in the coming years.
Founded in 1977, initially as a Sixth Form, d’Overbroeck’s has maintained its founding values throughout its growth.
We believe in outstanding teaching and laughter. We celebrate the individual and foster a culture that promotes collaboration and originality. We pride ourselves on our unique blend of social informality and academic rigour.
d’Overbroeck’s consists of three sections:
Years 7-11 – 200 students; currently all day students although open to boarders from next year. Based at Leckford Place, OX2 6HX.
Sixth Form – 440 students; a mixture of day and boarding. Domestic and international. Based at a purpose-built site at 333 Banbury Road.
The International School – around 125 international students who are all boarders, across years 9-11.
All in all, this is a busy and happy educational environment in which staff and students enjoy positive relationships based on mutual respect and a shared sense of purpose. As our most recent ISI inspection report puts it:
‘A defining characteristic of d’Overbroeck’s is its close-knit, informal atmosphere within which students grow in confidence, self-esteem, respect for themselves and for others. Students are very supportive of each other and behaviour throughout is excellent, exemplified in considerate, warm relationships.
In its key findings, our most recent inspection report (2021) found that our students are highly motivated with extremely positive attitudes to learning. They were described as successful collaborative learners who are naturally inclusive. They were said to have a remarkably strong sense of self understanding and excellent awareness of how to improve and achieve their goals.
