Job overview

This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified, imaginative specialist French teacher, who works with equal efficacy independently and as part of a team, to deliver outstanding French education to girls across the primary age range. The position would suit a dynamic teacher who is able to inspire pupils of all abilities to develop their full potential. The successful applicant will be a fluent French speaker and an outstanding practitioner in the teaching of French. She/he will be able to demonstrate a proven track record of excellent student attainment; a passion for languages being essential.

Pembridge Hall is an independent girls’ preparatory school (ages 4 – 11) of 425 girls set in a tranquil residential square in Notting Hill. Pembridge prepares its pupils for many of the top day and boarding senior schools in the country and therefore works at a level significantly above National Curriculum expectations. It is part of the Alpha Plus Group of Schools. 

Pembridge Hall is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and employees of Pembridge Hall are expected to share this commitment.  The protection of our students’ welfare is the responsibility of all Pembridge Hall staff and individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of our organisation. All members of staff must have an enhanced DBS and prohibition order clearance, be aware of and follow the safeguarding, Prevent Duty, anti-bullying and behaviour and discipline policies of the school, and partake in training on safeguarding, prevent duty and personal welfare.

School Vision

Pembridge Hall recognises that our girls will enter a complex and ever-changing world which befits emotionally intelligent, resilient girls who can embrace the wonderful opportunities available to them. Pembridge girls love coming to school and gain an appreciation of wider society and the diversity of nationalities, faiths and languages represented by Pembridge families. We believe that creativity and independence of thought are as integral to the girls’ development as traditional forms of learning.
