Secondary Humanities Teacher

About the school
Richmond Park School is an exciting new project located in a highly attractive residential area well connected to the centre of Madrid. The school opened with Early Years and Primary in September 2019 and is led by two highly experienced directors of education, supported by a strong private company with a vast experience of British education in Spain. As planned, the school will grow substantially in September 2020 when we open Key Stage 3 in Secondary and introduce a second class per year group in Early Years and Primary.

In our school, the key focus is the academic and holistic development of each student. Our broad English curriculum, further extended through co-curricular projects and experiences, will empower all students to fulfil their potential through acquiring high- level knowledge, deep understanding, and extensive skills. They will become creative, independent, and reflective thinkers and effective communicators. Equally important, core moral and ethical values, such as respect, kindness, and integrity, will underpin the educational process. We want our students to be generous and supportive, developing a deep commitment to social and environmental action.

Richmond Park School provides a learning environment which is tranquil, but also stimulating. Teachers guide students and facilitate their learning, but the students themselves often take the lead, thinking, exploring, problem-solving and creating. We believe that if you want to teach, you have to learn and if you want to learn, you also have to teach.

Learning in Richmond Park School will be joyful, surprising, and dynamic.
