We are excited to appoint a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher; someone who is passionate about History and committed to joining us in continually driving forward standards and maximising the potential of all students. We are looking for either a newly qualified teacher or an outstanding experienced teacher looking for a new post, and someone who is willing to teach within a Humanities department.

We are seeking to appoint a committed individual with the enthusiasm and drive to work within our talented and creative team to build on current success.

Our caring and nurturing approach to education within and beyond the classroom contributes to what makes our school a special place both to work and to learn. We place great value on the fulfilment and well-being of our colleagues; our successes to date are in no small part down to their hard work, commitment and determination, and our growing student roll enables us to provide opportunities for both personal and career development. The word PROUD is at the heart of everything we do at Lathom. Our school was inspected by Ofsted in June 2022 and is now judged to be GOOD in all areas. This is testament to the vision, dedication and commitment which has been shown by the staff team and governors and the hard work from the students themselves. We are so PROUD of this outcome and the comments made in the report:
