It is a very exciting time to join our school and Trust as our brand new, state of the art school building has just opened.



Southam College is a high performing and oversubscribed 11-18 School set in the heart of Warwickshire close to Coventry, Leamington, Banbury and Leicester. In 2021 we were rated 'Outstanding' for the third time by Ofsted. In 2023, 75% of all grades achieved at GCSE were 4 or above and nearly a quarter of grades achieved at GCSE were grade 7 or above. We are determined to build on this success by continuing to:

• Raising achievement at GCSE and ‘A’ level

• Developing our Learning and Teaching skills

• Enhancing the range of Memorable Experiences available to our students

We are currently seeking to appoint an inspirational teacher to join our successful team. The successful applicant will be an inspirational forward thinker with a focus on developing exciting and engaging learning experiences and a belief in our ‘can do’ culture where anything is possible. You will be a talented teacher, with excellent subject knowledge and be well informed on current educational developments and initiatives. Passion is at the heart of our practice and it is essential that you have the ability to enthuse and motivate those around you. Be the best you can be!

At our school we value all our staff and every one of our 1654 students and see the investment in our staff as crucial as we look to build on previous successes for our students and across the school. We have an exemplary induction programme which provides an excellent foundation for career progression. We are part of Stowe Valley MAT, which is led by Southam College. This has further enhanced our ability to offer inspirational and supportive leadership and CPD for all of our staff.
