History Teacher - Maternity Cover job summary
*MATERNITY COVER - History Teacher
The Latymer School is an oversubscribed high achieving, but caring Grammar School in North London. Visitors comment on the warm atmosphere and the high levels of participation in extra-curricular activities that encourage students to foster and nurture their skills and interests beyond the confines of the curriculum. We are proud of our inclusive school community and there is a real passion for teaching and learning in a supported and welcoming atmosphere that inspires risk-taking and creativity. As a school, we are committed to developing the whole person and it is a place where you can really engage students in their learning and develop as a teacher.
The History Department is a thriving and well organised department that is impressively resourced to provide a supportive working atmosphere for staff. Programmes of study across all the key stages seek to challenge and stimulate all students and the department has a consistent record of excellent results with 85.9% of pupils gaining 9-7 in GCSE History for 23-24. History is also a popular subject at A Level and students continue to excel, with our most recent externally graded results in 23-24 being 100% achieving A*- C and many going on to read History at university. This would suit an experienced teacher, who would be able to hone their teaching skills in a supportive environment with a competitive salary.
The school also provides a range of well-being activities 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.
If you would like to join this hard-working, able, and effective team of committed teachers, we would love to hear from you.
Please note that the school reserves the right to interview on receipt of applications, and to appoint prior to the deadline, so early application is recommended.
