Detail

We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative Class Teacher to join our Prep School team on a fixed-term contract until December 2026 and for the right candidate, it could open the door to longer-term opportunities. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who can bring learning to life across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, nurturing pupils through engaging lessons and a supportive classroom environment. We welcome applications from both experienced teachers and ECTs. We would ideally be looking for someone to start after half term but will consider all notice periods.

Our school is young, vibrant, and thriving. We are committed to innovation and are always exploring ways to keep our forward-thinking curriculum fresh, challenging and relevant. We embrace change and are never afraid to shake things up to ensure we deliver the best for our children. We are ambitious about academic success while ensuring that our children’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do, enabling them to be free to be themselves. Our broad, exciting curriculum inspires curiosity and goes beyond the academics – we are teaching skills for life alongside a wide range of core subjects. We offer exceptional facilities, including a state-of-the-art STEM centre and expansive spaces for sports, featuring a full-sized astro pitch. Our active and supportive parent community plays an integral role in our school, collaborating with us to raise funds for initiatives like new climbing frames and library enhancements.

You will play a key role in many aspects of school life: teaching across the Prep School, leading or supporting clubs, and contributing to our collaborative teaching culture. Our staff team is highly supportive and always keen to share ideas and initiatives. With excellent staff retention and high satisfaction, this fixed-term role is a fantastic way to become part of our happy and thriving community.

We are looking for someone to join us as soon as possible, so we will be interviewing as suitable applications come in. Early applications are encouraged. The closing date for applications is 17 October, though we may close the process earlier if we appoint before this date.

If this sounds like a role you would be interested in, we would love to hear from you.

If you are shortlisted for the role, we will carry out an online search.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment.
