Class Teacher

The Pointer School is an Independent Christian Prep school in Blackheath, Southeast London. We are seeking an inspirational, dedicated, and passionate teacher to join our thriving school as a full time classroom teacher.

As a non-selective school, we are looking for teachers who are willing to offer exceptional individualised learning, adapting to the needs of all learners in the class and challenging each pupil to achieve their academic potential. Our pupils leave us after Year 6 to attend the very best schools in London and the right candidate will be able to guide pupils towards this. We have a strong family atmosphere and the successful teacher will become a key part of the continuation of this, supporting in the co-curricular life of the school and attending school events. Our school has an excellent reputation for pastoral care and we are looking for warm, caring teachers who will actively contribute to this important aspect of school life. Candidates must have a teaching qualification, though the position is suitable for an experienced teacher or a dynamic ECT.

This role will start in September 2026. Interviews will be held on Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd May 2026.

The Pointer School is totally committed to safeguarding the welfare of students and young people and expects the same from its employees. All new staff will be subject to enhanced DBS clearance, identity checks, qualification checks and employment checks to include an exploration of any gaps within employment, two satisfactory references and registration with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). Please note that the school performs online checks on shortlisted candidates prior to interview in line with statutory requirements as set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). You must have the right to work in the UK, hold or be willing to obtain a valid DBS and be at least 18 years old.

At The Pointer School, we are committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse and talented team that reflects the vibrant community we serve. We believe that an inclusive workforce enhances our pupils' learning experiences and fosters a culture of empathy, respect, and belonging. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, and seek candidates who share our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
