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 have an exciting opportunity for a teacher to join two excellent departments Geography and History. We are looking for a teacher who has good subject knowledge and is passionate about sharing their knowledge with our pupils. The post will see you teaching mostly Geography with a third of your timetable being History. Both departments are extremely well resourced and are very popular subjects in the school. Whilst you would be well supported in the two departments, here at Latymer it is also a fantastic opportunity to develop and hone your craft as a teacher with both encouraging colleagues and keen and enthusiastic students. We are looking for a teacher to preferably teach GCSE and A Level.
The Geography Department works as a close-knit group, sharing resources and strategies and are an energetic and friendly department. As you would expect, 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 2023-24. Geography results are very high, the most recent externally graded results in 2024 being 93.7% of students achieving grades 9-7 at GCSE and at A Level (with 32.1% achieving an A*, 71.4% A*/A, 89.3% A*/B and 100% A*/C). 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 87% of pupils gaining 7/9 in GCSE History. History is also a popular subject at A Level and students continue to excel 100% achieving A*- C and many going on to read History at university.
The school will ensure there is an appropriate balance of teaching across the Three Key Stages.
