Teacher of Design & Technology job summary
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.
We are looking for someone who would enjoy working with engaging and curious students at Key Stages 3 and 4, and although not essential, there is the opportunity to teach A-level. The department is well-resourced with a range of innovative equipment, including 3D printers across its suite of specialised classrooms and workshops. At Key Stage 3, students work across the different design and technology disciplines on a carousel programme, and it is a very popular subject at both GCSE and A levels, for which we use OCR.
Recognising that DT is a wonderfully broad subject in terms of materials, skills and design, the department works closely together to provide valuable support in the planning and delivery of all lessons. The basis of the curriculum centres around the delivery of a wide range of DT areas, and there are plenty of opportunities for CPD training both internally and externally.
Our Design and Technology results are very high, the most recent externally graded results in 2024 being 87.7% of students achieving grades 7-9 at GCSE and at A Level (with 25% achieving an A*, 50% A*/A, 81.3% A*/B and 93.8% A*/C).
This is a full-time and permanent position with a competitive salary and would suit either an experienced teacher or an Early Career Teacher, who would be able to hone their teaching skills in a supportive environment.
A further detailed job description is attached.
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.
Applications will be considered upon receipt and the vacancy closed if an appointment is made before the closing date.
The Latymer School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment. Any offer of employment is subject to a satisfactory ‘Enhanced with a Barred List Check’ through the Disclosure and Barring Service.
