Our Vision & Ethos
Rooted in Jewish values, LJFS fosters a supportive, inclusive community where every student is encouraged to thrive. We blend rigorous academics with a strong emphasis on kindness, respect, and moral responsibility. Our mission is to cultivate curious thinkers who excel both in and beyond the classroom, guided by a culture of mutual respect and positive behaviour.

• Academic Excellence: Be part of a team that consistently achieves outstanding results, driven by innovative teaching and a passion for lifelong learning.
• Staff Wellbeing & Development: We prioritise your growth with tailored CPD opportunities, mentorship, and a wellbeing-focused approach to work-life balance.
• Extended Holidays: Benefit from longer summer breaks and paid leave for Jewish festivals, honoring both tradition and your time to recharge.

The Role
You will deliver engaging English lessons across KS3 and KS4, fostering a love for literature and language while upholding our high academic standards. We seek a creative educator who champions inclusivity, embraces our ethos, and thrives in a collaborative setting.
