Deadline Date: 04th December 2025

We seek to appoint a well-qualified full-time maternity cover Teacher of Latin and Classics who can teach across the full 11-18 age range. We might be able to consider a part-time appointment if that is a better balance for the right candidate. This position would suit either a recently qualified teacher or a more experienced candidate. The successful candidate should be an inspirational teacher and must be exemplary in carrying out his/her professional responsibilities. He or she will wish to work collaboratively in ensuring that pupils have an engaging experience of the subjects, provoking intellectual curiosity and developing academic rigour. Aside from a passion for teaching Latin and Classics, applicants should be keen to contribute to the broader life of the school through cultural, sporting or other extra-curricular activities.

Applications should be e-mailed to the Headmaster, Dr Huw Williams, as soon as possible and no later than midday on Thursday 4th December.
