Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an outstanding teacher to join our thriving and successful Trust to teach English Language and Literature in Key Stages 3 and 4 at Langdon Academy.
We’re fortunate in having a very strong English department with dynamic leaders whose impact has been considerable in the last two years especially. And we’re expecting even greater success from our current Year 11 students. With a Progress 8 score already within the top 8% of schools nationally, we believe we’re in a strong position to improve on that and are looking for an outstanding English specialist to join us in that pursuit.
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 (an outstanding 11-18 Academy).
This appointment is a golden opportunity to strengthen our team further with a new, talented and enthusiastic English specialist. If that sounds like you, we’d be keen to hear from you. You will be joining a very strong team of subject specialists, with highly energetic and inspirational leaders to support you through the next stages of your professional development.
The scale of Langdon, the fact that it also has a primary phase, and its membership of Brampton Manor Trust provides considerable opportunity for the continuing development of our staff.
This post would suit a NQT or a more experienced colleague looking to broaden their experience. A TLR point may be available to take on additional responsibility within the department / school. Please visit our websites at www.bramptonmanor.org or www.langdon.newham.sch.uk to apply and obtain further details about this role.
All completed application forms must be sent by email to jobs@bramptonmanor.org. Brampton Manor Trust is committed to the safeguarding of children.
Enhanced DBS checks will always be carried out on new employees. Closing date: Monday 21st May 2018 at noon
Please note: Interviews will take place on a rolling basis, as applications are received.

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.
