This is an exciting opportunity to lead the Art Department 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.

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 980 students including 270 residential boarders and a thriving sixth form. In 2024, the percentage of students achieving five or more GCSE grades 9-4, including English and mathematics, was 89%. 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.
