Ashbridge Independent School - Empowering young minds through respect and nurture

Ashbridge is an exceptional and unique independent school set in the rural outskirts of Preston and benefitting from 11 acres of beautiful grounds. Our facilities are second to none and we have a strong outdoor ethos with Forest School and Land Based Studies part of the weekly timetable for all children. We are looking for teachers who love teaching, who are keen to work hard and promote a love of learning, the highest of standards and a spirit of adventure in their pupils. Those who are innovative and creative and understand the importance of education in its widest sense. Experience of using technology creatively across all subjects and developing this area of the curriculum, particularly through the use of varied devices and Office 365 Education would be an advantage as we are developing a bespoke curriculum where the use of technology is fully embedded across the curriculum subjects and the outdoors.

We have an extensive programme of extracurricular clubs and activities, offer numerous trips over the year including residential trips for all juniors and provide many opportunities for children to perform and create; our school is busy but fun! Being a teacher at Ashbridge is highly rewarding with small classes, purpose built classrooms and first class facilities and, most importantly, the children and their families are amazing. Our new teacher will join a dynamic team of committed teaching and support staff who embody the values and ethos of the school and work together to provide the best possible start in life. Our academic scores are excellent, and pupils achieve highly in many other areas including sport and the performing arts. The pupils are respectful, hardworking, playful and they really love their school.
