Class Teacher

An exciting maternity cover opportunity to encourage both academic learning with a variety of sports.  

Ideally it is a full time position, however for the right candidate we would consider part time.  The mornings will be spent as a Class Teacher and in the afternoons you will be taking Games.

Although it is a fixed term contract role for maternity cover (September 2019 to July 2020) there may be opportunities at the School following this role; this would be discussed periodically with the successful applicant, although no guarantees are given.

The Croft Preparatory School is an independent co-educational day school for children from 3 to 11 years old, situated in a beautiful 30-acre site, in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, on the outskirts of Stratford upon Avon.

The school has benefited from a considerable amount of capital refurbishment over the last decade, with Mundell Court, a purpose built teaching space to house the IT suite as well as dedicated classrooms for Design Technology, PSHE and Mathematics, opening in 2009 and a 600 seat Theatre and fully equipped Sports Hall opening in March 2012.  

The 30-acre site provides an extensive sports field and multiple outdoor learning areas with Forest School sessions incorporated into the curriculum for all Early Years and some Pre-Prep pupils.  Class sizes are traditionally limited to 20 pupils.

The Class Teacher will report to the Assistant Head Pastoral.  Enrichment days for each faculty are being delivered with cross-curricular themed activities and topics. 

We are developing a Growth Mindset ethos for all.  Therefore we expect all staff to have the enthusiasm and ability to inspire, motivate, develop and innovate, together with the desire to make a difference.
