C2 Class Tutor (KS2 Teacher) and Head of Education Team

Be part of THE MOST INNOVATIVE school in the UK!

Lumiar is recognised by Unesco, Stanford University and Microsoft as one of the 12 most innovative schools in the world. Set up in Brazil 15 years ago, Lumiar has ten schools globally. The first Lumiar School is opening in the UK in September 2019, for children aged 5-11, near Bath and Frome. 

Our team are passionate about transforming education. They are highly motivated, forward-looking educators who offer a disruptive new model for education - one that puts the child at the centre of the learning experience.

Are you a talented and ambitious educator with the drive to create a DIFFERENT kind of learning experience for children?

At Lumiar Stowford we believe that education is a vehicle to creating positive and meaningful societal change. Much of the current education system, constrained by testing, large class sizes and lack of funding is held back from delivering learning opportunities that encourage free-thinking, innovation, creativity and respect for community and our natural environment. These are all qualities we believe are essential for next generation to rise to the challenges of a rapidly changing world, find their passions within it, and help find solutions to the social and environmental risks and opportunities this future poses.

The role combines teaching KS2 as class Tutor, and leading and managing a team of inspiring educators to help grow and develop a new and exciting school, as the Head of the Education Team.
