This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of Oxfordshire's most successful schools.

We have an excellent reputation, enjoying strong support from parents and students, and a good and growing working relationship with the local community.

We are among the most successful schools in the country for progress in English and Maths. In 2023, 74% of our students achieved at least a grade 4 in English and Maths at GCSE and 31% of all grades achieved were at Grade 7 or above. Vocational grades were similarly impressive, 85% of entries gained at least a Level 2 Pass and 36% at a Distinction or Distinction

In our most recent results, 61% of all entries gained A- B grades and 32% of all entries gained A- A. In Vocational qualifications, 58% of all entries gained at least a Distinction, with 31% gaining a Distinction.


This is a very happy and supportive environment, with great relationships throughout the school. It is an ideal starting point for ECTs. We place an especially high value on the development of colleagues and have an extensive professional development programme. There are many opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively across the school. The successful applicant should expect to be very well supported in their professional development.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an experienced and talented Expressive Arts department. We are seeking a teacher who is passionate about the role expressive arts plays across the curriculum and is able to deliver high quality Drama lessons. The ability to also deliver Music would be an advantage. The Expressive Arts team is a thriving department at Wallingford School and a willingness to be involved in the extra curricular activities across the department is vital.

It may be that the post suits two teachers seeking part time roles in either discipline or one teacher who would like to work across the Expressive Arts department full time - we are open to considering both possibilities. We welcome applications from experienced teachers as well as those new to the profession and currently in training.
