English Teacher

North Bridge House Preparatory School,   founded in 1939, is an outstanding   independent co-educational day school for Years 3-8. The   December 2015 Inspection Report commended the school for providing excellent   learning opportunities, for all pupils, through an outstanding curriculum.

“The   quality of pupils’ personal development is outstanding and reflects one of   the key aims of the school: to educate pupils in a nurturing environment   where they learn tolerance, consideration and respect for others.” 

It   stated that the pupils are very well behaved, high achieving and happy within   the close-knit learning community, inspired by the expert staff with whom   they build excellent relationships. The quality of safeguarding and the   provision for the welfare, health and safety of pupils were judged to be   excellent. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated,   enthusiastic teacher with a commitment to classroom excellence.

We are looking to appoint an inspirational Teacher of English from January 2018 (or earlier). The ability to motivate, challenge and foster a love of language and literature is at the heart of the role.

The successful candidate will also deliver a highly successful Year 6 programme as well as the accelerated 13+ Common Entrance and scholarship syllabus, which incorporates aspects of GCSE study. Independent and state sector applicants welcome.
