Job overview

British Primary School of Wilanow (BSW) in Warsaw, Poland  is seeking to appoint an inspiring Key Stage 2 Teacher to join a forward-thinking, dynamic team in Warsaw's fastest growing international school. This role is for an August 2020 start.

The School

BSW offers a strong British education, centred on the Cambridge Primary Programme. The school is located in the upscale Warsaw suburb of Wilanow, where old meets new and city meets country. The historical Royal Wilanow overlooks new, stylish cafes and shops as well as leafy green fields and woods.

BSW opened in Autumn 2014, in purpose-built accommodation on a charming greenfield site, with a handful of Nursery-age children. Numbers for 19/20 have grown to around 230 and there are waiting lists in most yeargroups. It is predicted that the school will reach around 300 pupils by September 2020.

A new extension was opened in August 2019 and we are now planning construction of the final stage of the campus that will allow us to accommodate up to 450 pupils.

We are strongly committed to the highest standards of education. BSW is a Compliant member of COBIS and was to undergo a COBIS Accreditation visit in May 2020; this has now been postponed until Autumn 2020.  

The Role

Due to expansion, we are looking for British-qualified and experienced teachers for our Middle Primary Phase; we use the term 'Middle Primary' to refer to KS2.  Our teachers have formed a strong team, demonstrating flexibility, creativity and flair; we need new members who are every bit as willing to play a full part in helping to develop the ethos, character and structures of an ambitious, values-based school. We have a clear philosophy of education centred on our Walk of the Lion which values Respect, Courage, Cooperation, Consideration and Nobility. 

Our teachers are hard working and passionate about education. They set high expectations with regards to the progress of all pupil and are effective and supportive members of the whole school team. At BSW teachers endeavour to place the school values at the heart of everything we do. 

BSW has a rich programme of outdoor learning and sports and our teachers play a full part in the cultural, educational and extra-curricular life of the school.

The Candidate

We are seeking applicants with UK teaching qualifications (PGCE or B.Ed.) and experience of working with the English National curriculum in the UK and/or The Cambridge Primary Programme in an international setting. EU nationals do not currently require a work visa for Poland  

The successful candidate will be dedicated to educational excellence, creative, energetic, flexible and genuinely respectful of students, staff, parents and the wider community. Recent KS2 experience is essential.  

We offer

  • Highly-motivated, engaged and very well-behaved children
  • An excellent teaching team
  • Maximum class sizes of 22
  • Well-resourced classrooms
  • On-going CPD and INSET to support innovative practice
  • An attractive package
     

The package includes:

  • A highly competitive salary
  • A Financial subsidy towards accommodation
  • Assistance in finding high quality accommodation
