Job overview
We educate students rather than simply train them to pass tests. Take a look at our website to find out how we prepare children for a life of adventure: https://www.sidcot.org.uk
Working in our modern, purpose-built Junior School, you will be an inspirational and well-qualified teacher with a focus on educating the whole person.
This fixed term appointment is due to an increase in Year 6 pupil numbers; in order to ensure that we continue to have small classes, we will split Year 6 during the mornings for the 2019/20 academic year. The teacher appointed will be working three mornings a week (Monday – Wednesday). The lessons taught will be primarily the core subjects of English and Maths.
Sidcot School is a thriving independent day and boarding school set in glorious countryside just 7 miles south of Bristol Airport. Our students experience a community where it is clear that independent thought is encouraged and curiosity is a way of life. Great education starts with great teachers and our teachers want their students to have interesting lives; they want to give them the confidence and motivation to develop their talents, and the desire to put those talents to good use in the world.

About Sidcot School
Sidcot School is a mixed, independent, all-through Quaker school and sixth form for pupils aged three to nineteen. It is located in Winscombe, Somerset, in south-west England, and has about 550 students on its roll.
The school can trace its history back to 1699, when it was founded by Quakers. However, it moved to its current site in 1808.
The school is a registered charity, and is administered by its governing body. At least half of these governors must be members of the Religious Society of Friends.
Headmaster
James Jones
Values and vision
The school is established on strong Quaker values, and this remains a key part of its ethos today. It places a strong emphasis on mutual respect.
Quakers believe “in living life adventurously and letting their lives speak”. In practice, the school says, that means teaching in a way that encourages individual thought, questioning and exploration. The school also aims to ensure that pupils have all the support they need to grow as individuals, and recognise and celebrated their talents.
The school welcomes students of all faiths and none.
