Full Time

Why come to Latimer? This is a fantastic school to work in: as a result of our success and popularity we are over-subscribed and have a very strong positive reputation. On interview we ask candidates for their impressions of the school and without fail they comment on how wonderful our students are, the supportive team ethos amongst staff and how friendly and welcoming the school is.

Ofsted April 2023:
Pupils are happy to attend this school. The school’s values include honesty, excellence, ambition, respect and teamwork. The school’s culture is rooted in these values. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. Staff have high expectations, and pupils live up to these.

Staff are proud to work at the school. They feel well supported by leaders in respect of workload, well-being and managing pupils’ behaviour. Staff value the professional development they receive.

We genuinely care about our staff, their well-being and their professional development: we are a happy team, committed to working collaboratively and sharing the very best practice. This was very much recognised in our most recent Ofsted Inspection, where we sustained our Good rating. We offer work from home sessions and a comprehensive induction programme.

We have fantastic sporting facilities that any school would be proud of, and very successful teams competing in many county competitions including girls’ and boys’ football, basketball and netball.

If you are an outstanding PE teacher it really is worth applying for this post. We are seeking to appoint a candidate who is passionate about sport; a team player who will thrive on collaboration; someone who really wants to make a difference! There is likely to be the chance to teach a second subject, or be available to support our internal cover team, so if you have additional skills or experience please mention them in your application.

We are primarily looking for an applicant who can teach Girls’ CORE PE, but the timetable may also include mixed examination groups. A willingness to contribute to the sporting clubs offer as well as helping with fixtures is essential, and a willingness to support with our Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is desirable.

We welcome applications from ECTs and we run a highly supportive and successful induction programme that meet the full requirements of the Early Career Framework.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post will be subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure.

The Latimer Arts College values the diversity of our workforce and welcomes applications from all sectors of the community.
