Job overview

Tes is supporting the appointment of an inspirational Teacher of Classics to contribute further to a flourishing Classics Department in both its curricular and extra-curricular activities.

The school are looking for a well-qualified graduate of Classics with a passion for the subject, excellent subject knowledge, with good organisational and time management skills. 

If you are a good communicator who can enthuse and inspire both pupils and colleagues and have exciting ideas about the teaching of Latin (and Greek, although this is not required) and the ways in which it can be further developed and encouraged, they would be delighted to hear from you.

Classics at the school

Classics is a vibrant and thriving subject throughout all stages of the school. Latin is compulsory for all students for Years 8 and 9, and leads to a good take-up at GCSE, where Greek is also offered. Results at GCSE and A Level are consistently outstanding, with over 90% of students gaining A-A* at A Level over the last five years. Every year students go on to study Classical degrees at Oxbridge or other top universities, with two girls securing offers to study at Oxford this year. 

The Classical extra-curricular programme is rich and varied. There is a residential trip every year, with recent locations including Greece, Rome and Sicily. Alongside this are day-trips to museums and local classical sites, evening trips to lectures or the theatre, as well as several eminent visiting speakers. The Sixth Form are proactive and creative at keeping Classics at the forefront of the school, and currently run Classics ‘masterclasses’, in addition to spending a term teaching Latin to students at a local primary school.

About the School

This is a leading academic day school. Their girls are ambitious, bright, enthusiastic and eager to learn and they offer a warm and supportive community. They occupy a site in suburban, leafy, west Ealing with excellent transport links. As part of the UK’s leading network of independent girls’ schools, they can offer a variety of benefits, such as:

  • Membership of Pension Scheme
  • Access to the central training and development programme
  • Up to 50% discount on fees for children at the group's schools
  • Training grants for obtaining further qualifications
  • Interest free annual season ticket loans for travel are available to staff 
  • Interest free loans to enable staff to buy a computer for personal use at home
