Claremont is seeking a Teacher in Charge of Classics to join our school in September 2026.

• Provide confident subject leadership and curriculum development
• Deliver high-quality lessons that challenge, support and engage learners of all abilities
• Contribute fully to the academic, co-curricular and pastoral life of the school

Our ethos rejects hot-house culture; instead, we pair academic aspiration with kindness, curiosity and breadth of opportunity. Benefits include a very generous defined contribution scheme which offers teachers flexibility around both employer and employee contribution levels, comprehensive life assurance and income protection, and staff fee remission (for eligible staff upon successful completion of probationary period), cycle to work scheme as well as complimentary lunches and refreshments during term-time
