About Lady Margaret School
Lady Margaret School is a Church of England academy for girls aged 11-18 situated on Parsons Green in West London. Established in September 1917, there are currently 763 girls on roll, of whom 166 are in the Sixth Form. It is an outstandingly successful school in welcoming girls of all academic abilities and ensuring that they achieve their full potential. Its success is based on a culture of high expectations and aspirations, excellent standards of teaching and a strong commitment to its Christian ethos. However, it remains an inclusive school and girls from other faiths or those who have no religious beliefs at all are welcomed.
Our exam results reflect the hard work of our students and staff. In 2023, 92% of our girls attained GCSE English and Mathematics at grades 9-4. At A Level, our results are consistently outstanding, with high numbers of girls progressing to a wide range of Higher Education courses. In 2023 80% of grades were A*-B. Students at LMS have an excellent record of securing places at top universities.

The successful candidate will be a well-qualified and experienced Teacher of Drama (including at KS5) who is ready to take on a key leadership role, or an existing Head of Department who is seeking a new challenge.

At A level, 100% of grades were awarded A*-B. There is also thriving extra-curricular provision, with an annual school production which includes a diverse range of students from across all year groups. The department regularly works with theatres and theatre companies, for example the Lyric Hammersmith and Frantic Assembly.
