TEACHER OF CLASSICS
To start September 2023 or January 2024
We have an exciting opportunity to join our superb Classics Department from September 2023 or January 2024. You must be an excellent Classicist with good knowledge of Ancient History and Latin, and the ability to inspire our enthusiastic students from Year 7 to A Level and Oxbridge. If you can also teach Classical Greek, it would be an advantage.
We are particularly looking for a resourceful, collegiate, and forward-thinking practitioner, who will make a positive impact both within the classroom and beyond. Alongside a wholehearted contribution to the Classics department, you will naturally want to play a role in co-curricular activities, be they sporting, academic, musical or arts.
The RGS has its own salary scale (which is above national pay scales for teachers).

Royal Grammar School
Thomas Horsley, the original settlor of the Royal Grammar School Newcastle (RGS) pledged his legacy to the School in 1525. Almost 500 years later, RGS continues to flourish as the premier independent school in the North East of England and as one of the country’s leading schools, and the Sunday Times’ North East Independent School of the Decade 2020. We regularly lead all northern schools in national league tables and pride ourselves on academic excellence, a high level of pastoral support, involvement in a wide range of sports and other extra-curricular activities, and our commitment to bursaries and partnerships.
RGS has grown substantially in recent years. There are now some 1,330 students, over 260 of whom are in the Junior School. The Sixth Form of 350 students is one of the largest in the independent sector. We became coeducational 20 years ago and girls now comprise 43% of the school.
The school is based in the heart of the City, immediately opposite Jesmond Metro station. The school occupies over 30 acres of land and has state-of-the-art facilities, including five brand new art studios, a new library, a new Sixth Form Centre, a 25m swimming pool, two Sports Halls, a Performing Arts Centre, outdoor football/rugby pitches at Mooracres, an artificial turf pitch for hockey and the former County Cricket Ground.
