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 weekly work‑from‑home sessions for full‑time staff and a comprehensive induction programme.

Our MFL staff are part of the EBacc Faculty and they work alongside humanities teachers delivering high‑quality outcomes in all subjects. You will be joining an outstanding team who have worked closely together to transform languages provision  is true to say that our students love their languages experience!

We have introduced German this year and look forward to continuing to develop this further over the coming years. We currently teach French in Years 7–13, and German in Year 7 only, with plans to offer this in Years 7 and 8 to half the cohort from September 2026 and are interested in applications from specialists in either language, although the role will certainly involve some French teaching.

The role may also include some teaching of PSHE and RS.

If you are an outstanding teacher it really is worth applying for this post.

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.

Closing Date: 9.00 am on Monday 19 January 2026
