Teacher of Economics
- Organisation: City of London School
- Location: East London
- Tenure: Full-time
- Closing Date: Wednesday 15 January 2025
We are currently seeking to fill the position of Teacher of Economics .
An outstanding teacher of Economics is required to join CLS for September 2025. The School has a long-standing record of high academic achievement (95% of A-level gained A* to B in 2024). There is also much happening in terms of co-curricular activities, and all staff are expected to be fully involved in School life.
Economics is vibrant, successful and flourishing at CLS with large numbers taking the subject in the Sixth Form. There is a rich supra-curricular programme as well, which is overseen by the Head of Department, including reading groups and trips. Large numbers of pupils go on to high-tariff universities to read Economics, Finance, Management and PPE courses. The successful candidate will be able to teach Economics to A-level and a teaching qualification is desirable, but not essential. They will have a real enthusiasm for Economics and the ability to communicate a love of Economics to their pupils. Any candidate who has the ability to contribute to the teaching of A Level Politics or Mathematics to GCSE may indicate this in the letter of application: the ability to do this is not, however, essential and should not be seen as a requirement of the role by interested candidates.
We aspire to attract a staff that matches the social and cultural diversity of the CLS community. We welcome applications from anyone with the relevant skills and abilities, and particularly from those who may not previously have thought of applying to a school such as ours. We use CV Minder to anonymise applications. When appropriate, we may undertake brief long-list interviews online ahead of final short-listing. Short-listed candidates will be invited to an in-person interview at the School. The in-person interview will include opportunities to meet our fantastic pupils and to get a sense of what makes teaching at CLS so special.
CLS was named by the Sunday Times as London Independent Secondary School of the Year 2020, and occupies fine, modern buildings near St. Pauls Cathedral overlooking the Thames, opposite the Tate Modern. There are impressive off-site sports facilities in south-east London.
CLS Teaching Pay Scale £38,190 - £62,640 (plus two progressions points to £64,680 to £66,780 2023 - 2024). The post would be suitable for an ECT (we provide statutory induction) or a colleague with more experience.
City of London School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
Further information about the School and a copy of the most recent ISI Inspection report are available on the school website.
Closing date: Wednesday 15 January 9am
In-person interviews will be held on Friday 24 January
