Reception Class Teacher to cover Maternity Leave -Maspalomas Department

Experienced Reception Class Teacher

Canterbury School offers a British education across all Key Stages and a high level of education in the Spanish system. This enables our students to access the University of their choice at the end of their school career. The school is housed over four sites and caters for children from the age of 2-18.

For more than 40 years we have been preparing children to take their place in the world as responsible, informed and culturally aware citizens. We believe that the professionalism of our teachers, the excellence of our facilities and the warmth of our educational philosophy offer the perfect environment for every pupil to achieve their full potential.

This post is for our small Infant and Primary department in Maspalomas where we have children from 3-11 years of age. From there children then feed into our Secondary Department in Las Palmas. The school is in a beautiful, rural location but very close to the beaches and tourist resorts in the south of Gran Canaria. The classes are small, with approximately fifteen pupils per group and there is a nurturing, family atmosphere in the school.

It is a post to cover a Maternity leave and the anticipated end date is May 2022 - yet to be confirmed.
