This is an exciting opportunity to teach KS3, GCSE and A Level Art and Photography at one of the most successful schools in England for up to 1 year.
We seek an enthusiastic graduate. High energy levels and good inter-personal skills will be essential. See the attached documents for more information.
Set in a beautiful 50-acre Surrey site, the School enjoys excellent facilities and an aspirational learning environment. Recognised by HM Chief Inspector of Schools as one of England’s finest non-selective schools, Gordon’s has circa +80 students including 270 residential boarders and a thriving sixth form. In 2026, the percentage of students achieving five or more GCSE grades +-4, including English and mathematics, was 8+%. The A-C pass rate at A-Level was 88%, with 71% of the grades A-B. These results rank Gordon's amongst the top non-selective schools in England for progress and attainment.
Massively over-subscribed, Gordon’s size ensures that every pupil is well known and nurtured as an individual. The School has a very strong emphasis on academic standards, self-discipline and traditional values and aims to be much more than just outstanding examination results, providing abundant opportunities outside the classroom and exceptional pastoral care.
