#WeAreLHS
A well-qualified, dedicated and inspiring teacher is required from 28 August 2024 to lead our successful and forward-looking department, teaching up to Year 13, in our School that has been judged to be ‘excellent’ in every way.
Founded in 1906, Leicester High School provides education in our Junior Department of approximately 115 girls aged 3 – 9 years and our Senior School of approximately 250 girls aged 10-18 years. This post is based in the Senior School.
Our small size means everyone is someone at LHS and we pride ourselves on our family feel and excellent academic education. We specialise in bringing out the very best in girls aged 3 to 18 and our School philosophy of Education, Confidence and Opportunity is key to all we do, from our Early Years to our outstanding Sixth Form.
All LHS staff contribute towards the goal of providing a supportive, challenging and fun environment which enables our girls to achieve their potential.
We seek a well-qualified, enthusiastic, inspirational and highly motivated teacher who is able to lead, develop and support pupils in their teaching of English. The subject is offered at both GCSE and A Level and our examination results are excellent. The extracurricular contribution to School life is essential in this role.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a busy and thriving School. Here, everyone is encouraged to become fully involved with School life. We offer a dynamic working environment, with talented and hard-working students.
