• Your identity, qualifications, and right to work in the UK will be fully vetted.
• References will be sought prior to interview wherever possible.

You must disclose details of all unfiltered reprimands, formal warnings, cautions and convictions as these will be disclosed by the DBS. It is an offence to apply for a role which involves regulated activity by an applicant who is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.

This is an excellent opportunity for an innovative teacher who is looking for a new challenge to make a difference and to work in what we believe to be a uniquely inclusive school. Full support, training and career professional development will be provided to ensure that the successful candidate thrives in this role. At Langley, we prioritise positive relationships between staff and students. We are incredibly proud of the way our staff and young people work collaboratively to fulfil our school motto 'to be the best we can be'. Langley is a wonderful place to work and learn. We are a committed, compassionate community united in our mission to being fully inclusive, celebrating diversity and promoting equality in all that we do. Every learner matters and matters equally at Langley. In our recent Ofsted Inspection Report inspectors described Langley as 'an inclusive, welcoming school' where 'pupils behave well in lessons' and there is a 'calm and purposeful atmosphere around the school'. Our school's fundamental principles focus on supporting, challenging and inspiring the whole Langley community 'to be the best that we can be'. But these are not simply words on paper. Students, staff and governors genuinely give all they can, to bring those principles to life every day. Examinations are critically important, of course, and our students achieve superbly well in them, but we truly believe in developing young people to deal with the tests of their lifetime, not merely to endure a lifetime of tests. Everyone who visits us comments on the unique ethos of our school as well as our commitment to inclusivity. We were proud to achieve Great Place to Work Status and have been recognised as one of the Best Places to work in education.
