Teacher of Classics

Required from September 2026, an inspirational and well-qualified Classicist is required to join this large, dynamic and high-achieving department on a part-time basis (0.5 FTE). We offer Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation at GCSE and A level and our take up is strong. Our results are consistently outstanding: in 2024 over 80% of our students achieved grade 8 or 9 at GCSE in all three subjects; in 2025 100% of our candidates achieved Grade 8 or 9 in Latin and Greek. At A level 100% gained A*/A in Latin and Greek in both 2024 and 2025. Expertise in teaching both the GCSE and the new A level would be very welcome.

LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site southwest of London. It has a vibrant and diverse community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama. We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school’s swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library resources. LEH offers the Teachers’ Pension Scheme to all teaching staff. A list of our attractive range of benefits can be found here.

To apply, please click the ‘Visit website’ button. Applications must be made on the School’s own form; CVs will not be considered and should not be submitted. The closing date is 9:00 am on Wednesday, 18 March 2026. Interviews will take place in the week commencing 24 March 2026. Applications will be considered upon receipt, and interviews can take place at any time. The school reserves the right to close this post at an earlier date should a successful appointment be made.

All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and procedures at all times.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children. Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
