Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an outstanding teacher to join our thriving and successful Trust to teach Science in Key Stages 3 and 4 at Langdon Academy.
Langdon Academy is a 4-16 school, sponsored by Brampton Manor Trust. We work in close partnership with Brampton Manor Academy (an outstanding 11-18 Academy), which is the other school within our multi-academy trust (MAT). There is great spirit, energy and optimism in the school since joining the MAT in 2014 which has led to substantial improvements and successes in every aspect of school life, with the school now achieving a very strong Progress 8 (O.67, DfE provisional) and substantially above the national average for the English Baccalaureate. However, this is by no means sufficient, given the potential of our students.
All indicators paint a picture of a rapidly improving school and the Computer Science department’s progress in recent times has made its own contribution to that development. However, we are not looking to stand still. This is a golden opportunity to strengthen our team further with the arrival of a new, talented and enthusiastic Computer Science specialist. If that sounds like you, we’d be keen to hear from you. You will be joining a strong team of subject specialists who will provide excellent support for the next stages of your professional development.
This is an excellent time to join Langdon Academy and Brampton Manor Trust, providing great opportunities for further development. 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.

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.
