Lead Practitioner and Teacher of English,

Our school is a thriving, voluntary aided, non-denominational comprehensive school serving the educational needs of boys from the ages of 11 to 18, from a diverse local community. The school benefits from a joint co-educational sixth form with our neighbouring girls’ school. We are on the edge of Hampstead Heath in the London Borough of Camden with 800 on roll and we are part of the highly regarded LaSWAP sixth form consortium.

You would join a team of well-qualified and established English teachers who are highly ambitious for the students.
