Apply through us!
Details for making an application for a first appointment
1) Application via LDBS (who will act as a 'clearing
house' to LDBS Schools) using the LDBS NQT application form.
2) Direct application to a LDBS school in response to an advertisement
(see our teacher vacancy board!).
3) Application to a LA 'pool' where you will be directed to a school
which might include the suggestion of teaching in a LDBS school.
- The LDBS offers a clearing house system to match interested NQT applicants
to vacant posts in the Diocese of London.
- Interviews will take place in the schools where the vacancy occurs.
- Please note the minimum requirement is for Bachelor of Education Degree,
PGCE, or other qualification conferring Qualified Teacher Status. Overseas
trained teachers committed to gaining QTS are also welcome to apply.
- Applicants should have understanding of equal opportunities in the
widest sense and an appreciation of how equal opportunities are addressed
in a school situation.
- Although LDBS schools are Church of England foundations - they all
serve their communities, and are attended by pupils from families' representative
of the major world faiths, or those of no faith.
- There is an expectation that teachers appointed to LDBS schools will support the Christian ethos of the schools.
