St Swithun’s School seeks to appoint an inspiring head of Classics to lead this enthusiastic academic department. Classics at St Swithun’s is thriving and the department aims to deliver a positive experience of the ancient world to all students and at all levels. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy working in a stimulating professional environment.
The ability to teach Latin to A level is a requirement of this post, and it would be a significant advantage to be able to teach both Classical Greek and/or Classical civilisation to GCSE and A level, though this would not be absolutely essential in the first instance.
The successful candidate will be a positive and dynamic individual who is able to engage, motivate and inspire students of all ages. They will be an experienced Classics teacher with exceptional subject knowledge, a strong work ethic and a desire to be part of the whole school community. They will be required to teach at all levels and prepare students for competitive university entry, plus have a passion for promoting learning within St Swithun’s and beyond.
St Swithun’s is a popular and successful selective girls’ school committed to developing innovative teaching and learning; open communication with parents and being a tolerant, kind and supportive community in which every pupil feels able to try new challenges without fear of failure. St Swithun’s is proud to be a High Performance Learning (HPL) school and a member of the HPL Fellowship of World Class Schools.
