Job overview

Inner London Pay Scale
Lilian Baylis Technology School is a mixed 11-18 inner city school located in a new building at Vauxhall, London. We are a multicultural community school that aims to serve the local community. We value the diversity of our school and strive to ensure that our students feel represented, both at whole school level and within the curriculum.
In addition to this we have outstanding facilities for our students and teachers, including electronic whiteboards and visualisers in all rooms, as well as laptops for all staff. Teachers usually have their own classroom base for all their lessons and there are plentiful resources for teaching and the curriculum.
Our students are well behaved and ambitious and they also value the school. All visitors to the school always comment on the calm and productive atmosphere of lessons. Our last OfSTED inspection stated we were ‘outstanding’ for all areas of the inspection.
In addition, student progress at both GCSE and A Level History is above national average. In particular, we are highly effective at bridging the gaps between disadvantaged students and non-disadvantaged students. We run an extensive intervention programme, at Key Stage 3, which means students who have low prior attainment are able to work on “catching-up” with their peers.
At KS3 the History team has developed a highly praised decolonised curriculum. Our curriculum is highly engaging for our students and results in strong take up levels at Key Stage 4. Most students who go on to study A Level History choose to stay in our school 6th form for Key Stage 5. Those that study A Level History usually also progress to study History or a related social science subject at university, including a substantial proportion of students gaining places at Russell Group Universities.
We are looking for a well-qualified and enthusiastic colleague to join our Humanities team as a teacher of history. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach across all key stages.
This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher at the beginning of their career or for an experienced teacher looking for a new challenge. We offer a highly supportive and committed working environment within a culture of success. Our ECT programme is highly regarded and we are the providers for our borough in terms of delivery. In addition, our CPD provision for experienced teachers is extensive and follows a research driven approach, which means that our teachers are at the leading edge of professional practice.
