Job overview

Langdon Academy

Teacher of English

Required for September 2023 or earlier

Main/Upper Inner-London Scale

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an outstanding teacher to join our thriving and successful Trust to teach English in Key Stages 3 & 4 at Langdon Academy. At KS4, there will be an opportunity to teach both English Language and Literature to GCSE level.

We are fortunate in already having a very strong team in place with outstanding colleagues and inspirational leaders, working within excellent facilities.

Our most recent GCSE results demonstrate significant improvement in performance, placing the school in the top quintile nationally for student progress. We are therefore seeking to recruit a colleague with excellent subject knowledge and clear evidence of their motivation and ability to deliver excellent outcomes for students.

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 strengthen our team further with a new, talented and enthusiastic English specialist who aspires to further promotion beyond this appointment. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

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. This post would suit an ECT or a more experienced colleague looking to broaden their experience.

Please visit our website at www.langdonacademy.org to find out more information about the school.

All completed application forms must be sent via the TES portal by the closing date below.

Closing date: Monday 17th April 2023 at 9am

Brampton Manor Trust is committed to the safeguarding of children. Enhanced DBS checks will always be carried out on new employees.

Please note that this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. You must give details on your application form of all offences, convictions, cautions or bind overs you have or any court cases that you have pending.

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.
