Job overview
Wellow House School is an independent co-educational preparatory school, teaching ages 3 to 13. We are proud to offer an exceptional educational experience to all our pupils within our idyllic surroundings near Sherwood Forest; the 20 acres of our parkland site provide unrivalled opportunities for sports and outdoor learning for all, as well as promoting the high academic standards you would expect from such a well-established preparatory school.
Our commitment to small class sizes means that our students experience a highly personalised learning environment and the security of being part of a tightly knit community. It also enables the teachers to know all students as individuals and ensure that each student is supported and encouraged to reach their individual potential. We are a learning community committed to excellence in all that we do, to achieve the best possible outcome for all our students.
This is an exciting opportunity for a new entrant to the profession or an experienced colleague looking to broaden their experience. The key quality we are searching for is the 'wow factor' in the classroom - can you grab the attention of the whole class and keep it whilst delivering outstanding teaching to each child? Are you prepared to think carefully about how to enhance your lessons, your classroom, and your pastoral care? Do you have the passion to 'roll-up your sleeves' and 'get stuck-in' to every aspect of our school? If you can honestly say 'yes' to these questions, we'd like to meet you.
Visits are welcomed and highly recommended, please contact Mrs Dolby, School Secretary on 01623 861 054 for an appointment.
