Letter from Headteacher
Dear Candidate,

Thank you for showing interest in the post of Lunchtime Supervisor at Lady Margaret
School.

Founded over 100 years ago, the school has a proud and successful heritage in educating
girls. Following our centenary year, we are now looking to the future with the expansion
of the Sixth Form and a move to a permanent four forms of entry.

We wish to appoint a Lunchtime Supervisor to be part of shaping that future, to build on
the great strengths of the school, maintaining the highest academic and behavioural
standards, whilst adapting to the fast changing educational landscape.

Lady Margaret School has always been a high performing school, as testified by its most
recent ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted and SIAMS ratings. Recent results at GCSE have continued
these high standards whilst reminding us of the challenge of building ‘added value’ for
girls of all abilities. At A level, we enjoyed excellent results in 2019 and we continue to
offer a rich curriculum for our students.

This post offers the chance to work with a committed and experienced staff as part of a
learning community supporting each other to develop an innovative and exciting
curriculum. This is a unique opportunity: to work in a school with a strong and proud
heritage and to help lead it into the next exciting chapter in its history.
Thank you again for your interest in joining us.

Yours sincerely

Elisabeth Stevenson
Headteacher
