The Post 

We are looking to appoint an energetic Drama Teacher for September 2019 to join the dynamic staff at Ashfold School. The successful candidate will be genuinely passionate about Performing Arts and will be able to enthuse the children about, and promote the enjoyment of, Drama through their inspirational teaching. Alongside developing the dramatic abilities of our students and delivering high-quality productions, the successful candidate may have the opportunity for additional LAMDA teaching if they possess the relevant qualifications and/or experience. 

The successful candidate will ideally possess a degree or equivalent in Performing Arts and will have experience of delivering dramatic productions. They will naturally exhibit excellent written and verbal communication skills, have effective interpersonal and organisational abilities, and possess an aptitude for fostering positive relationships with the children, staff and the wider school community. 

The School 

Ashfold is an established co-educational Preparatory School for around 280 children aged 3 - 13, set in a beautiful Jacobean mansion with its own thirty-acre estate in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside just thirty minutes from Oxford. 

The school has expanded significantly over the last fifteen years and invested heavily in its infrastructure and support systems. We aim to give every child the firmest possible grounding in the core academic subjects, within a small caring family community where children know both each other and all of the staff.
