Teacher of Classics
Part- or Full-Time
We are seeking a knowledgeable and highly-skilled Classics Teacher who is able to proficiently and enthusiastically deliver Latin from Year 4 to Year 12 and Classical Civilisation A Level (OCR). The ability to teach Ancient Greek would also be desirable. The successful candidate will be a strong classicist, be exemplary in their professionalism and educational practice, and be able to teach, inspire and nurture all pupils in their learning.
Whether with a few years of teaching under their belt or a seasoned professional seeking a fresh challenge, the successful candidate should have proven classroom management skills, consistently model excellent practice, be highly motivated and have an active interest in educational technology (EdTech). We are continually developing our range of teaching resources, including our tech-driven materials for the optimum use of student iPads within lessons.
As a committed member of the team, the successful candidate will contribute to the planning, teaching and assessment within the department. The ability to communicate effectively and share new ideas is therefore essential. In addition, a commitment to delivering co-curricular Classics and assisting with our key extended-curricular events, such as our well-subscribed annual Classics Conference, and trips where students can develop their interests, is essential.
Founded in 1993, the Harrodian is a co-educational school set on 25 acres of grounds with excellent facilities. Providing staff and students alike with a welcoming and exceptional learning environment, where small class sizes and high standards foster academic excellence, we value enthusiasm, adaptability and a commitment to student engagement across all ability levels. A sense of fun, responsiveness to individual learning needs, and an open approach to teaching are qualities we regard highly. Staff are also expected to contribute to the pastoral and co-curricular life of the school, ensuring a holistic and enriching educational experience for all pupils.
