Job overview
Full time, permanent position for September 2016
Hours: 8.30-17.00 five days a week including holiday periods. Attendance at school events outside these hours from time to time, as well as a few INSET days towards the beginning or end of school holidays.
More House School provides an exceptional, mainstream education for boys with Specific Learning Difficulties. Providing a transformative education recognised as ‘Outstanding’ in our March 2016 school Ofsted inspection, and in successive Ofsted inspections over more than a decade, we offer a specialised learning environment for 470 day and boarding boys from Year 4 to Year 13. Our pupils are taught to recognise their strengths and develop their self-belief so that they achieve independence and extraordinary results at GCSE and A Level, above the national averages.
All boys who attend More House are individually timetabled, with many receiving support through the on-site Learning Development Centre. The very broad curriculum affords opportunity to discover their strengths, challenging them to fulfil their academic and extra-curricular potential. Judged ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in its last four school inspections, our most recent inspection (March 2016) graded More House School ‘Outstanding’ overall, and as ‘Outstanding’ in each of the six sub-sections of the report. More House is CReSTeD approved, listed in their Specialist Schools category.
In addition to the core subjects, a wide academic curriculum allows boys to choose from 19 options for GCSE and a similar breadth in the Sixth Form, which includes A Levels, Level 2 BTEC and Level 3 BTEC qualifications. Results are astonishing, achieving 83% A*-C at GCSE last summer (national average 69%), and with A Level results placing the school in the list of leading boys’ boarding schools compiled by The Telegraph newspaper. Class sizes are small and there is ample opportunity for boys to get involved in the school’s extensive extra-curricular programme.
The school is set on a wooded hillside in twenty-five acres on the Hampshire/Surrey border, and attractive modern facilities lie above the playing fields. In recent years the school has refurbished and extended its boarding facilities, refurbished its eight Science laboratories, built its School of Engineering and CAD facilities, and opened a new Humanities block and school Chapel. We will soon begin construction of our new Library/Literacy Centre and Media Studies department.

About More House School
Outstanding day and boarding school for boy's aged 8-18 who struggle to thrive in a mainstream setting due to speech, language or communication issues.
Considered a national center of excellence, and the largest school of its kind in the UK.
Our aim is to help each boy who joins us, achieve, in the widest possible sense, more than he, or his parents, ever expected. This is accomplished by knowing a great deal about each student – his strengths as well as his difficulties. For his strengths, he must first be helped to identify them and, eventually, change them into a marketable form. His difficulties will not be static. We are mindful that we must be alert to changes caused by a student's own development, those of society and by the curriculum and make sure that each of our students is equipped to meet them.
