Teacher of Classics
Outer London Pay Scale
Start Date: September 2026
Contract: Full-time, permanent role
Join our Outstanding Team at Nower Hill High School!
Nower Hill High School is an exceptional place to work, learn, and grow. In our most recent Ofsted inspection (2023), we proudly retained our ‘Outstanding’ rating across all categories — a testament to our vibrant community, exceptional staff, and enthusiastic students.
We are seeking a dedicated and inspiring Teacher of Classics teacher to join our thriving faculty. You will either be an experienced practitioner with excellent pedagogical knowledge, superb communication skills, and a firm commitment to widening access to classical subjects for students of all backgrounds and abilities, or have the potential to develop into such a practitioner. The ability to teach Classics and Latin at KS3-4 is essential and at KS5 highly desirable; any experience of teaching Oracy would be an additional advantage. You must have experience of teaching in a UK secondary school.
The Classics Department at Nower Hill is a very special place to teach. It comprises five specialist Classics teachers and offers all classical subjects, which is incredibly rare in the state sector. All Year 7 and Year 8 students study our homemade Latin, Classics and Oracy course. We use the Cambridge Latin Course all the way through into GCSE alongside teaching the other elements of the Eduqas syllabus. Classical Civilisation and Ancient History are both offered at GCSE. Students may continue with Latin and Classical Civilisation at A-Level. We are very proud to be able to offer Classical Greek as an extracurricular option from Year 7 onwards. We are one of only a very few state schools in the country offering Classical Greek in the sixth form.
In addition to Greek, there is a thriving Classics Club, which is run by Year 12 and Year 13 students and we regularly organise study days and trips to destinations both at home and abroad. Our biannual trip to Italy or Greece is the highlight of many students’ school experience and anticipated with great excitement!
As a department, we constantly strive to improve our practice and benefit from a strong whole-school culture of professional development and a dynamic, ‘can-do’ attitude. You will be joining a team of experienced, supportive colleagues with deep and extensive subject knowledge, who constantly seek to learn from each other and plan collaboratively as much as possible. In addition, we host 1-2 PGCE trainee teachers each year.
This is an excellent opportunity for a high calibre, enthusiastic and creative teacher to join our outstanding Faculty of Linguistic and Cultural Studies (FLACS). This post is suitable for both experienced teachers as well as those who may be returning to the profession after a break. The school supports a strong induction programme and bespoke professional development. Applications from Early Careers Teachers (ECTs) would be warmly welcomed. ECTs can join us for a three-week paid induction in July.
