Vacancies - Teaching

• Teacher of Computer Science - Prior Park College, Bath
• Teacher of Latin / Classical Civilisation - Prior Park College, Bath

Teacher of Computer Science - Prior Park College, Bath

Teacher of Latin / Classical Civilisation - Prior Park College, Bath

 Full-Time - Fixed Term Contract – 5 January to end of 2026/27 academic year

Opportunity for inspirational Classics specialist to teach Latin and Classical Civilisation on a temporary basis to cover a period of rolling illness for immediate start with no specific end date.

It is the aim of the Classics Department to make available the study of Classics to every student willing and able to benefit from it; to facilitate the highest possible standards of Classical scholarship, and to present to each student a course of study appropriate to his or her aptitudes. The department’s policy is to combine the best of traditional and modern teaching methods and to appraise current practice continually.

Latin is started in Year 7 and is taught throughout the school. At present the Cambridge Latin Course is used in the lower year groups, with a transition to more traditional linguistic learning for those who opt to pursue the subject to GCSE level, for which there is a steady intake of enthusiastic students. The Eduqas syllabus is currently used for GCSE and OCR for Advanced Level, which likewise attracts a number of well-motivated Sixth Formers. The aim is to teach the subject in a way that goes beyond the syllabus and raises issues that are linguistic, cultural and historical.

Classical Civilisation is a popular choice for both GCSE and A level, and it also follows the OCR syllabus. At GCSE stage the subject is a liberating force for a number of lively students and prepares them well for the A level, which itself is intended to be both a study that is part of the liberal education offered by Prior Park College and also a preparation, if desired, for a Classical Studies course at a university.

Greek is taught, at present beyond the curriculum, to a small number of able students.

There are two full-time teachers of Classics (one of whom is the Head of Department) and one part-time teacher. The Department has its own area in well-appointed classrooms with good facilities.

We offer excellent and supportive working conditions with an attractive rewards package to include free lunch and free onsite parking plus use of onsite gym and pool.

The role will commence on completion of successful pre-employment checks on 5 January 2027 and run until the end of the academic year. A portable DBS would be useful.

Prior Park College is an exceptional 11-18 HMC senior school set in a stunning 57-acre estate overlooking the City of Bath a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Prior Park Paragon, is an independent, co-educational day school based in a beautiful Georgian house a mile from the centre of Bath. Catering for more than 250 children aged three to 11.

Since the establishment of Prior Park College in 1830, the family has grown, with Prior Park Paragon joining in 2006, and Prior Park Gibraltar being opened by Prior Park Schools in 2016.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Applicants must undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
