Job overview
At Langley, we see it as our mission to foster a genuine and lasting love of the subject through exciting, well planned and engaging lessons in which pupils are challenged, encouraged to learn from their mistakes and are able to thrive.
Younger pupils are encouraged to learn about the world today through a variety of both traditional and more modern teaching and learning activities, including; investigations, group presentations, games, experiments and modern technological platforms such as School’s social media sites.
At GCSE and A level we study the AQA Specification. There is a strong emphasis on independent learning, independent research, conducting investigations, fieldwork and preparing students for the next step, whether that be University, the working world or backpacking.
We strongly value fieldwork, trips and experiences outside the classroom to consolidate learning and understanding of some of the complex themes and issues we study. It is also an opportunity for pupils to be creative and build strong interpersonal relationships with both teachers and other pupils. We offer fieldwork to all year groups; from investigating infiltration rates around the school site, studying perception of place in Scarborough, visiting the incredible landscape of fire and ice in Iceland to trekking through the Sahara Desert by Camel in Morocco.

About Langley School
Langley School is an HMC boarding and day school offering all through education to over 880 pupils aged 6 months to 18 years in Norfolk.
Set within two enviable countryside sites, these stunning green campus locations are a wonderful canvas which allow children space to breathe and grow – with the added advantage of being in close proximity to the vibrant city of Norwich and having nearby transport links to Cambridge, London, and Schiphol Airport (via Norwich Airport).
With an established legacy in providing first class inclusive education, Langley is an innovative, caring and stimulating place to work. It is our ambition to not only build the areas in which our strengths lie, but to lead the way as a forward-thinking and aspirational school.
Langley is a co-educational, inclusive, day and boarding school for ages 6 months to 18 years. We are fortunate to be set within two 100+ acre countryside sites: the Pre-Prep and Prep school are based in Taverham; the Senior and Sixth Form just outside Loddon. These green, stunning campus locations are a wonderful canvas that allows children space to breathe. The warmth and family feel to the school allows pupils to flourish at their own pace, while also being aspirational and forward-looking.
We aim to continue to raise academic standards by focusing on excellence in the quality of education that we provide. We are fully committed to creating the right learning environment – one that celebrates the individual and nurtures their interests.
Our curriculum is supported by the three strands: Creative (music, drama, art and design), Action (sport and outward bounds) and Service (community engagement and charity). Focussing on Intellectual curiosity (STEM, Creative Arts, Debating, Languages), Community engagement (internal and external), and the Environment (utilising the benefits of the green campus from Forest School in the Prep to the outdoor classroom at the Senior site).
The character of the individual is central to the Langley education. Through the plethora of opportunities on offer, from CCF and sports teams, to UEA masterclasses and music soirées, our fantastic pupils are nurtured to be confident, curious and kind.
There is a full range of day and boarding options, from one night a week to the full experience. This also fits into the triumvirate of school, family and community, as the school week is busy and action packed, and the weekends are free for time in the home environment. There is elite sporting provision with the Langley football academy and the newly created netball academy. The class sizes of 16-18 pupils allow for learning and enrichment, taught by caring subject specialists.
