Job overview
Are you an inspirational Classics teacher with a passion for sharing classical languages and culture with the children of Notting Hill Prep?
NHP strives for academic rigour without diminishing the joy of childhood. Latin and Greek sit squarely within our education vision and are popular subjects at NHP.
NHP is an officially accredited ‘Thinking School’, reflecting our intelligent approach to education and commitment to instil in our children the values of resilience, creativity and independence. We teach children not merely to learn, but to learn how to learn. The successful candidate will share the school’s aspirations.
The school, situated a stone’s throw from Portobello Road in West London, is in the midst of an exciting period of expansion. We are a school where ambitious professionals, committed teachers, are well supported, learn quickly and advance their careers: an opportunity culture.

In either scenario, it is almost certain to become a full-time role in September 2019 as the school continues its expansion. The successful candidate could start as Head of Department, dependent on experience, or grow into the role.
