Class and Games Teacher - Key Stage 2 Class & Games Teacher (with Rugby, Cricket and/or Hockey Coaching. Subject Leadership opportunities also available)

Dear Candidate,

Thank you for showing an interest in the Class Teacher’s role at Ranby House. We are a proudly non-selective independent school offering fantastic educational opportunities for children aged 2 to 11. Located in North Nottinghamshire in 60 acres of private grounds, we have the most amazing setting, boasting the best facilities in the region available to primary aged children.

We are looking for an inspirational, committed and highly effective teacher to provide the highest quality teaching and learning opportunities for our children, ensuring they achieve success and progress in relation to their potential. 

Prep school life is a very busy environment to work in, so it is important you offer plenty of energy and enthusiasm to support our very busy school. As one of the only schools offering Boarding in the area for primary aged children, there is the added advantage of working alongside pupils outside the classroom. Therefore the ability to offer an extra-curricular sport, hobby or outdoor pursuit, would certainly be desirable. Depending on your personal circumstances, we may be able to offer you accommodation on site.

We are very proud of our broad curriculum where specialist staff teach Foreign Languages, Art and Design, Music, Science, with plenty of Physical Exercise, alongside class-based English, Maths and Humanities. 

As a Growth Mindset school we promote challenge, collaborative learning and success. The school has proudly high expectations of pupil behaviour and attitudes to work, maintaining important values. We promote good behaviour, pastoral support and competitive drive among our House system, which also develops confidence and leadership among the children.

The school day is flexible for pupils, where we offer breakfast club, through to an evening ‘tea’ with all snacks and mealtimes provide throughout the day. 

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with an absolute love for teaching who wants to gain valuable experience and professional development in an environment that provides many opportunities in curriculum development, leadership, with an ethos of embracing new ideas and challenges. 

If you have a real enthusiasm to work with children and have either recently qualified as an NQT, or have years of experience as a QTS and you are excited by the prospect of joining our fantastic team of staff, I look forward to hearing from you.

David Thorpe.

Headmaster, Ranby House
