Would you like to work in a school ranked as the top state comprehensive school in the East Midlands by the Sunday Times for 2022, based on GCSE and A Level results?

Northampton School for Boys is looking for a Teacher of Spanish to share in our ambitious, supportive and aspirational culture.

We would equally consider a passionate Early Career Teacher with evidence of strong student progress in teaching posts and placements to date.
