English Teacher

Gatehouse School is looking to appoint an outstanding classroom practitioner to coordinate English across the school and to act as a specialist subject teacher for year 5 children. The ideal candidate will have a passion for their subject and the ability to not only inspire the pupils but to collaborate with colleagues in delivering outstanding teaching and learning in English. This is a significant head of department role within our school with responsibility for monitoring the curriculum, preparing children for 11+ examinations and liaison with colleagues. The post would suit an existing head of department or an excellent teacher who is looking for a role with significant cross-phase responsibility.

Gatehouse School, which is part of the Phyllis Wallbank Educational Trust, is a flourishing, non-selective, independent school in the heart of the East End. We are proud of our inclusive and friendly ethos which sets out to provide the best education possible for children, establishing a modern outlook on primary education while ensuring that it retains the key values on which it was first founded. Our exam results are excellent and the school was recently ranked 33rd in the Times Top 100 Prep Schools.

This is also an extremely exciting time to join our school as we are committed to considerable investment in our facilities with the construction of twelve new classrooms and a state of the art performance studio. Currently a two form entry school, we will be adding an additional class to each year group from September 2017.

The successful applicant will benefit from being part of a professional, supportive staff team as well as a competitive salary package which will be discussed at interview. This is an excellent opportunity for an outstanding teacher to join our highly successful school which was rated as outstanding during our 2011 ISI inspection.

Visits to the school are encouraged and the staff and children look forward to welcoming you.

Gatehouse School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with previous employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
