Detail

We wish to recruit an enthusiastic and committed KS1 Teacher to join the inspiring and friendly team in the Junior School at Arnold House.

As a KS1 teacher, you will teach subjects across the curriculum to your class of approximately 20 boys, with the support of a teaching assistant. We aim to make learning fun and varied for the boys, so in addition to more conventional lessons, there are trips and outings to places of interest, and the boys experience specialist teaching in several subjects, such as Art & Design, French and PE.

Reading is a priority in Key Stage 1, with all boys having a weekly Library lesson in Year 2 and maintaining a reading record between home and school. Boys perform two plays during the year and one concert, including Harvest Festival and the Nativity Play.

They also benefit from several themed learning workshops at Canons Park. Boys are motivated by earning Golden Boy awards and Badges and Bars for industry, contribution and courtesy. These awards are much coveted and support their motivation and enthusiasm for becoming excellent all-round Arnold House pupils.

Arnold House offers excellent benefits including a competitive salary, access to our contributory pension scheme, free lunches during term time, access to the cycle to work scheme and a good proportion of non-contact time.

Generous benefits reflect the fact that teachers ‘go the extra mile’ in a school such as ours by contributing to sports, drama productions, trips, clubs and other activities.

All teachers take a share in supervisory duties and enjoy the benefit of a number of non-contact periods each week to use for lesson preparation, marking, etc.

All staff are appraised regularly and are encouraged to reflect on and develop their practice.

Arnold House is committed to promoting and protecting the mental and physical wellbeing of all our staff and has recently been awarded Mental Health Gold Award by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools
