Job overview
Liverpool College seeks to appoint an inspirational Teacher of Classics to join our Assistant Head of Faculty in teaching Latin and Classical Civilisation across the Senior School. The successful candidate will have the qualifications and enthusiasm to support an ambitious and growing programme of Classical education inside and outside the classroom.
Liverpool College is an oversubscribed and growing 4-19 academy with over 1200 pupils. It made the transition from fee paying to academy status in September 2013.
This is a unique opportunity for those wishing to teach Classics outside of the grammar school setting. Latin and/or Classical Civilisation are compulsory at Key Stage 3 and Classics is an increasingly popular option at Key Stage 4 and A Level; Latin is thriving at GCSE Level.
Through our partnership with the University of Liverpool’s Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology, we hope to expand the teaching of Classics to include Greek. In addition, our involvement with Classics for All is intended to make Liverpool College a hub of Classics teaching in the City.
Applications are welcome from experienced and newly-qualified teachers, or from Classics graduates who wish to train as teachers. The ability to teach Classical Civilisation at all levels and Latin to Key Stage 3 is essential; an additional knowledge of Greek would be beneficial.
Start date for this post is 31st August 2017.

About Liverpool College
Liverpool College is a mixed ability 4-19 Academy of some 1500 pupils. The College is situated on a leafy 28 acre campus located in the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool adjacent to Sefton Park.
The College is organized into two phases and five schools:
The Primary Phase consists of the Pre-Prep (Reception-Year 2) and Preparatory School (Year 3-Year 6) and each are housed in their own buildings.
The Secondary Phase consists of the Senior School (Middle School (Years 7-9) and Upper School (Years 10-11)) and the Sixth Form (Years 12-13) which share classroom facilities. The Sixth Form also has its own centre.
The leadership of the College consists of the Principal of the College who is supported by two Vice Principals who have whole College responsibility for teaching, learning and curriculum, and mission, resources, assessment and policy oversight respectively, and by the Director of Finance and Operations who is responsible for the financial management and support operations of the College.
The Principal, Mr van Mourik Broekman, was appointed in 2007 and has been in post since 2008.
The College was founded in 1840 to serve the growing population of Liverpool. The College was a founding member of the Headmaster’s Conference and was a fee paying school until 2013. It is a Church of England foundation that has always been open to pupils and families of all faiths and none. It does not apply any faith criteria in its pupil admissions or staff recruitment policy.
In June 2012, Liverpool College announced that the Secretary of State for Education had accepted their submission to transition the College to Academy status.
In September 2013, Liverpool College became an all-through academy for pupils aged 4 to 19 years old. The College also offers state boarding provision. In the last few years, it has become one of the most over-subscribed schools in the North of England.
Liverpool College was judged Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted at its last inspection in November 2019.
Purpose and Intent:
Our purpose is to transform the lives of young people, regardless of background or ability, by relentlessly challenging and consistently inspiring them to reach their maximum academic and personal potential within an inclusive and aspirational learning community dedicated to the highest standards.
