Job Description

Teacher of Economics - Independent School - Richmond

A Rare Opportunity.

Location: Richmond Upon Thames, London | Sector: Education and Training | Contract: Full-Time, Academic Year (with option to extend)

SANZA Teaching Agency are partnering with one of West London's most celebrated and iconic independent schools to recruit an exceptional Teacher of Economics (Richmond Upon Thames) - a genuinely rare opportunity at a school that is, quite simply, unlike anywhere else.

This role begins September 2026 and is full-time, teaching Economics at A Level to Lower and Upper Sixth. If you've been waiting for a position that truly matches your ambition, this is it.

The School

Set across 30 breathtaking acres in Richmond Upon Thames, this is the kind of school that stops you in your tracks the first time you visit. Co-educational, creative, and utterly unlike anywhere else in independent education - small class sizes, extraordinary facilities, and a genuine buzz that you feel the moment you walk through the door. Time on your CV here carries serious weight, and for good reason.

The Department

Economics is one of the most popular and highest-performing subjects in the school - and the department matches that energy entirely. This is not a team that sits still. Students are taken to Canary Wharf, attend conferences at the Bank of England and the OBR, compete in the Economics Olympiad and the RES Young Economist of the Year Competition, and run their own student-led Economics Society talks. Lessons are iPad-integrated, teaching styles are diverse, and the department has a genuine appetite for teachers who bring something different. A background in industry before teaching? They'll value it enormously.
