Job overview
Full Time (Part Time considered)
Required an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher of Maths. The candidate will be able to offer Maths in the Prep School up to Year 8 and ideally also in the Senior School Year 11 (GCSE). St Edmund’s is an expanding and successful school of over 400 girls and boys aged 2 to 16. The opportunity arises due to expansion and the position is offered full-time although substantial part-time may be considered. Early applications are encouraged.
St Edmund’s is thriving with numbers the highest in its 140 year history. Average class sizes are small, circa fifteen pupils. This is an interesting and challenging opportunity to join a successful team during a period of transition. Further general information on the school may be found on the website www.saintedmunds.co.uk.
The school was inspected by ISI in January 2014 and all academic and pastoral areas were graded “Excellent”. Extracts included: … “pupils make a high rate of progress in relation to others of similar ability. Pupils with SEND make excellent progress and achieve as well as their peers … the progress of those identified as academically able is high”; … “small class sizes enable teachers to give pupils individual feedback and support as the lesson is progressing and helps the pupils to move their learning forward”; … “relationships amongst pupils, and between pupils and staff, are excellent with high levels of respect, understanding and regard for each other”; … “The teaching demonstrates the teacher’s secure subject knowledge, using clear learning objectives. It exhibits fun, pace and challenge and an imaginative range of methods is used to keep pupils interested and engaged”; … “Pupils’ high levels of achievement are attained largely as a result of the excellent teaching that is highly effective in promoting pupils’ rapid progress.” The full report is available via our website.
A material change inspection by DfE in May 2015 rated the academic provision and planning for the senior years to be excellent. A Regulatory Compliance inspection took place in January 2018 – the results are due to be published shortly.
A combined information and application form may be obtained from Richard Taylor (Deputy Head Academic) by email at rmat@saintedmunds.co.uk or by phone on 01428 604808. The closing date is Friday 23rd February although earlier applications are encouraged. Applications by email are preferred and interviews will take place in the holidays or first half of next term.
Please note that the school takes very seriously its responsibility for safeguarding the children in its care and the successful applicant will be required to undergo enhanced CRB/DBS vetting.
About St Edmund's School Trust
"Life isn’t about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself". Such words by George Bernard Shaw, (a former resident of our main School House), perfectly encapsulate the ethos we undertake to instil in every pupil at St. Ed’s. A traditional education with a modern twist, we encourage our children to be themselves; we allow them a voice and we listen to what they have to say. In its 142nd year, St. Edmund’s inspires a foundation of decency in every pupil priming them with the time-honoured values of respect and humility. Two attributes that are scarce in many aspects of society these days, but standards that are vital for achieving success in today’s challenging and ever changing world.
With these principles at the heart of school life, it is of natural consequence that St. Ed’s culture of superior academic standards and exceptional pastoral care are complemented by our commitment to small class sizes and a dedication to the practice of Learning Outside the Classroom. Of equal importance are the discoveries, excitements and good old-fashioned fun that St. Edmund's creates inside our 40 beautiful acres endorsed by the excellent facilities we are fortunate enough to offer, including an immaculate golf course and indoor swimming pool. These attributes together with our pioneering and thriving Optional Saturday Activities Programme allow our pupils to sample and enjoy a wealth of activities that enrich our busy curriculum.
You join us at an interesting time. Pupil numbers are at their highest level in the school's 140 year history, yet we successfully retain that small school ethos where we know every pupil well and where every child makes a difference to our community. Our recent expansion to GCSE demonstrates our steadfast commitment to our pupils' achievements and future opportunities whilst also further developing the St. Ed’s experience in its entirety.
During our ISI Inspection last year, The Inspectors captured the real essence of life at St. Ed’s, commenting "Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and they are well motivated. They show exemplary behaviour and their care for each other is special". We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
I hope that you enjoy browsing through our website – we aim to give you a flavour of the unique and at times quirky experiences available for your child. If you think that you might be developing a taste for us then do come to see for yourself what it is that makes St. Edmund’s so special - you will be very welcome.
