We are looking to recruit an outstanding Librarian to manage, maintain and, develop our Learning Resource Centre (LRC).
The successful candidate will have some experience working as librarian, preferably within a school. A postgraduate librarian qualification is desirable.
The LRC is a vital part of the school and has the potential to have a significant impact on the outcomes of students. The successful candidate will need to have a passion for books and be a champion for reading within the school. You will need the drive and determination to improve literacy across the school.
Your approach will need to be student centred with an eye on current literature being used within the school, as well as new material that is being published. You will need to be proactive and create a positive environment that encourages reading. You will work closely with the English department to ensure that the resources meet the needs and the interests of our students.
Our most recent GCSE results demonstrate significant improvement in performance, placing the school in the top quintile nationally for student progress.
Langdon Academy is a large 4-16 school, with over 1700 students in the secondary phase, and is part of Brampton Manor Trust, along with Brampton Manor Academy, who have an enviable reputation both locally and nationally.
This appointment provides an opportunity to develop the LRC and have a demonstrable impact on improving literacy within the school.
The scale of Langdon, the fact that it also has a primary phase, and its membership of Brampton Manor Trust provide considerable opportunity for the continuing development of our staff.

About Langdon Academy
Langdon Academy is a mixed, non-denominational all-through academy school for three to 16-year-olds located in East Ham in the east London borough of Newham. It has capacity for just over 2,400 pupils.
The school is part of the Brampton Manor Trust, a multi-academy trust which also runs Brampton Manor Academy. Langdon Academy (previously Langdon School) joined the trust in 2014.
The school was originally three separate institutions, built in 1953. In 1972, these schools - Burges Manor, Thomas Lethaby and East Ham Grammar School - were combined to form Langdon School, a mixed comprehensive that would later become Langdon Academy.
