We are offering an exciting opportunity to be part of a new school in Warsaw. We are looking for teachers with UK qualifications and experience to deliver the National Curriculum for England. At present we have 2 campuses that cater for Primary-aged children and have plans to expand provision to Secondary education.

Your main responsibility will be to plan and deliver the National Curriculum for England; you will also be expected to engage in additional activities, including providing one extra-curricular club per week, participating in professional development activities and communicating with parents.

We are particularly interested in teachers who could provide a specialism that would contribute to school development, such as IT or music.

As a new school, opportunities are open for teachers to develop their professional skills, interests and specialisms. We see ourselves as  a professional learning community and support teachers in offering training and development to colleagues. As the school develops, we will nurture staff to take on more formal leadership opportunities.
