Job overview
Head of Seniors - Coopersale Hall School
Coopersale Hall is expanding its provision to take senior pupils for the first time from September 2023, rolling out a phased increase of pupils year after year. The first cohort is anticipated to be a small class of new Year 7 pupils, most of whom will have moved up from the school’s own Year 6.
Further details about the new senior department are available here: https://www.coopersalehallschool.co.uk/senior-department-development/.
This is an uniquely exciting opportunity to help oversee the inaugural year group as it moves into the new senior department and to help set up and develop the senior provision for future year groups as the pupils move through the school year after year.
We are looking for an inspirational teacher with high standards, aspirations for senior leadership and outstanding inter-personal skills to :
- act as a form tutor for the new Year 7 class
- teach English, PSHE and humanities to the new Year 7 class (approx. 45-50% timetable)
- coordinate the teaching in the seniors with the subject specialists
- monitor the teaching and learning to ensure the pupils make sufficient progress
- lead the senior department educationally and pastorally.
This is a full time position, ideally from the start of the Summer Term 2023 (or as soon as possible thereafter) in order to help set up the senior department with online and physical materials/resources, curricula, schemes of work and staffing.
Our aim is to recruit a teacher who:
- is looking to lead and develop the English and humanities curriculum at least initially for the first two years
- is able to contribute to an expanding curriculum and learning environment
- is looking to embrace having full responsibility for overseeing the seniors
- can be flexible and adaptable to working with children with varying needs and abilities in small classes
- has relevant qualifications and the passion to develop a love of learning
- has taught up to GCSE level and understands the rigours and needs of the GCSE curricula.
Applications are welcome from teachers with QTS from both independent and maintained sectors. A draft Job Description and Person Specification is available to download on our website.
To apply for this position please download and complete the Application Form from www.oaktreeschools.co.uk/jobs, applications should be sent to Mr M Hagger by Friday 10 February 2023.

Coopersale Hall is a privately-owned independent preparatory school in Epping, South-West Essex, for around 280 boys and girls aged 2½ to 16.
We offer a high standard of education and a fulfilling learning experience in a happy, secure and caring environment. With an emphasis on courtesy, manners and respect, we allow pupils to fulfil their potential by working together for the benefit of each other. We nurture, praise and encourage.
Coopersale Hall’s extensive buildings and grounds are steeped in history. The main Grade 2 listed building is a stunning mansion house set in some seven acres of beautiful grounds, lawns and playing areas.
In 1988 Coopersale Hall was acquired by the Hagger family and the School was opened in April 1989. A rapid modernisation and expansion programme followed. A converted Orangery-ballroom has become the School’s Assembly Hall and the cottage in the grounds houses some of our infant and junior classes. From the York stone terrace at the back of the Hall, a path leads to the adventure playground, Astroturf pitch, infants’ play area and landscaped gardens.
A phased introduction of senior school pupils began in September 2023 with an exciting new senior building currently in development.
Coopersale Hall School forms part of the Oak-Tree Group of Schools, which includes Braeside School in Buckhurst Hill, Oaklands School in Loughton and Normanhurst School in North Chingford. A group of local independent schools, all four are operated with the same aims of excellence and care.

Values and Vision
Academically, we encourage our children to aim high and to have the confidence to learn new skills and interests. The broad range of activities both inside and outside the classroom provides a rich environment where all children can discover hidden aptitudes and talents.
We emphasise the acquisition of social skills and encourage respect and consideration for others at all times. This helps children to understand the needs of others. Good manners, respect for others and self discipline are fundamental aspects of the core values we teach.
We aim to provide a broad curriculum with a variety of activities that offer stimulating opportunities in which pupils can develop lively, enquiring minds as well as individual talents
