Job overview
Required from September 2024, we are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Law to join a passionate, experienced and high performing Humanities department. This can be a full-time permanent role.
We are looking for someone able to teach Key Stage 5 Law, who is innovative, creative and passionate about Law. The ability to teach another Humanities subject at KS3 is desirable. The successful candidate will love the challenge of working with teenagers and will be committed to supporting them to reach their potential. They will deliver high quality rigorous lessons that inspire a love of Law amongst all students which extends beyond the classroom. The Humanities Faculty has a track-record of providing a broad experience for students.

Bishop Luffa School is a very special place to work. Our students are proud of their school and take part in an incredible number of extra-curricular activities, such as House Drama, the Sixth Form Fashion Show and Charity Week. We would like to hear from people who share our vision that we are here to show students ‘life in all its fullness’ and who firmly believe that learning extends beyond the classroom.
Bishop Luffa School is a fully comprehensive 11-18 Church School, which has been judged as Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted. I hope that we live our Christian values of love and respect, which all of our staff and students support, regardless of their beliefs.
Bishop Luffa School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to a DBS check.
If you are able to inspire and motive students in order to help them achieve their full potential, we would welcome your application. I would encourage you to come and view the school and looking forward to meeting you.

OUR VALUES are expressed in our school motto: ‘always our best because everyone matters’. Jesus told us ‘love each other as I have loved you’ (John 15:12). We want all of our students to know that they are loved and to treat other people and the world around them with love and respect.

Bishop Luffa School wants all students to achieve their full potential and discover their strengths and talents. It wants to be: “A community which works hard to widen students’ horizons beyond the formal curriculum”. The school works to ensure that everyone in the community is treated equally and doesn’t tolerate discrimination. It is committed to teaching students the Christian values and implementing them into their daily school life. A wide range of extra-curricular activities are offered to students across the year groups to allow for them to gain further skills and experiences outside of the classroom.
Ofsted
OFSTED inspectors visited Bishop Luffa School in Chichester in December 2022 and have graded the school ‘Outstanding’. The school was last inspected in 2008, when it was also given an ‘Outstanding’ judgement.
Head Teacher Austen Hindman said: ‘it is important for our community that we have a report that reflects the school as it is now. We are very pleased that the inspection team saw how inclusive we are and that we are living out our school motto: “always our best because everyone matters”. The inspection report says that “this is a school where you can be yourself and have your individual gifts and talents celebrated.”’
OFSTED also praised the impact of the Sixth Form on the ethos of the school: “The school buzzes with activity at lunchtimes as pupils enjoy social time together and participate in the vast array of clubs and societies. Many of these are organised by sixth-form students, who play a remarkably important role in the school. Beyond their academic studies, sixth formers lead other pupils in the excellent contribution the school makes to charities and the local community.”
Head of Sixth Form, Jamie Saunders, said: ‘Bishop Luffa Sixth Formers are leaders within the school. This responsibility helps our students to grow in confidence and is one of the main reasons why they go on to study at top universities and pursue rewarding careers.’
‘Our Sixth Form is open to any student who meets the academic qualifications. We have a large number of students from other schools join us in Year 12 and thrive at Bishop Luffa.’
