Head of Geography job summary

The Latymer School is a high achieving, but caring grammar school in North London. Visitors comment on the warm atmosphere and the level of participation in extra-curricular activities. Pupils at the school recently described the school as one “family” and it being a “real community”. We are very proud of our school and believe it is a place where you can really teach and develop to attain the highest educational standards. We are regularly named in the top 10 performing schools in London by The Times Newspaper.

We are seeking to appoint a Head of Geography to join this energetic and friendly department, who would enjoy working with highly motivated and intellectually curious students at all levels. The Geography Department works as a close-knit group, sharing resources and strategies across the year groups taught at the school.

Geography is a very popular option at A-level and GCSE. The department’s exam results are consistently high at both GCSE and at ‘A’ level and were excellent for 2022-23. Geography results are very high, the most recent externally graded results in 2023 being 88.3% of students achieving grades 9-7 at GCSE (with 21.2% achieving an A*, 66.7% A*/A, 93.9% A*/B and 97.0% A*/C).

The school provides a range of well-being activities, such as circuits, Pilates and facilities including good transport links, free parking, a cycle to work scheme, use of the fitness suite and even massages by a qualified masseuse. The school also runs a number of national and international trips, and we even have our own residential centre in a beautiful part of North Wales which staff also use. We value our staff and the importance of maintaining a healthy work life balance.
