MPR/UPR Inner London Pay Scale

Acland Burghley School is seeking to appoint an outstanding teacher of Media and Film Studies from September 2026. The post would suit an ECT looking to complete their induction in a thriving, happy and supportive school, or a more experienced colleague looking to develop their career in a new setting.

The successful candidate will be a well-qualified, engaging and effective teacher of Media and Film at KS4 and 5 across the ability range. The ability to adapt teaching to meet the full range of needs is essential, as is the ability to teach post-16 students.

Media and Film is a highly successful department within our wider Computing, Media and Social Sciences faculty. GCSE Film Studies and A Level Media Studies are popular options at KS4 and 5. In September, we will be entering our third year delivering a T Level in Broadcast, Media and Production. Students learn in a recently renovated and fully equipped suite of media classrooms, complete with a green wall and recording studio. The T Level offers students exclusive work placements in a range of highly successful London firms.

The successful candidate will be passionate about learning in Media and Film, and will demonstrate a strong commitment to ensuring that every child achieves the highest possible standards. Extra-curricular activities, including clubs and trips, are an important part of our curriculum offer. You will be articulate about the imperative to secure the highest possible standards of literacy for all learners, and about the opportunities the Media and Film curriculum provides for expanding horizons and personal growth.

This is an excellent career opportunity for a strong teacher to work in a thriving city comprehensive which has inclusion at its core. You would be joining at an exciting moment for the school. Our campaign to transform our grade 2 listed assembly hall into a versatile modern performance space is well underway. Our unique partnership with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, who have their offices and rehearsals on our site, places creativity at the centre of our curriculum vision.

If you can offer second subjects, for example English, languages, or social sciences, do please let us know in your application.

Situated close to Hampstead Heath in the heart of North London, Acland Burghley is a mixed, inclusive, community comprehensive school that enjoys high levels of parental support and a close collaborative relationship with other local schools. We are part of the popular and highly successful LaSWAP post-16 consortium with Parliament Hill, La Sainte Union and William Ellis Schools. We are a founder member of Camden Learning.

Above all, applicants should demonstrate an uncompromising belief in the potential of every student. If you share our passion for ensuring high standards for all, and have the ambition to be part of an exciting future for young people in our school, we would very much like to hear from you.
