Job overview

Role Summary:

Fulham Prep School is an independent, co-educational school for children from Reception upwards. Co-education and celebrating diverse abilities across academic, creative and sporting pursuits are at the heart of all we do.

Our campuses are located in the heart of Fulham and well connected to public transport routes.

We offer a broad education where diverse abilities are recognised, celebrated and given fullest expression; this has been at the core of our ethos since the School was founded. Our curriculum encourages the development of creative, problem-solving individuals with tenacity, kindness and secure self-worth; Fulham has always set out to bring out the best in every pupil and we are committed to continuing this unusually nurturing culture.

We have high expectations at Fulham and this, in turn, encourages our pupils to be involved and inquisitive and to show ambition both in and out of the classroom; this type of confidence, social awareness and open approach to life-long learning is needed to succeed not just in their next academic steps, but in a fast-changing and increasingly challenging world.

The same ambition holds true for our staff team. Being a part of the Inspired network of 100+ schools means that there are always colleagues and connections on hand for advice, inspiration and collaboration. Teachers are expected to play a full role in the pastoral and extracurricular life of the school.

Welcome to Fulham School

We are delighted to offer you a warm welcome to Fulham School. We are personally very proud of each and every part this school and the all-round, inclusive and forward-thinking education you will find here.

School life at each stage is packed with a diverse range of activities so pupils can find out what they’re passionate about and each day is tailored to bring out the best in them. This is about putting pupils in the driving seat; as curious individuals with the power and potential to develop and learn from their environment and the relationships they build with others in Nursery; raising awareness of (and confidence in) core skills in the Prep so that pupils have not just the resilience, but also the ambition, to seek out challenge and opportunity as they take more control of their future options. We provide life skills, the ability to make connections between and beyond subjects and the opportunity to work together to achieve more than any individual can alone, all in a modern and future-looking learning environment; these are the things that make us distinctive. Moreover, we are ideally situated for pupils to take advantage of the museums, galleries, theatres and other resources that London has to offer. All of this is enhanced by the educational opportunities available through the Inspired network and its meaningful connections for both pupils and teachers.

We offer a broad education where diverse abilities are recognised, celebrated and given fullest expression; this has been at the core of our ethos since the School was founded. Our curriculum encourages the development of creative, problem-solving individuals with tenacity, kindness and secure self-worth; Fulham has always set out to bring out the best in every pupil and we are committed to continuing this unusually nurturing culture.

We have high expectations at Fulham and this, in turn, encourages our pupils to be involved and inquisitive and to show ambition both in and out of the classroom; this type of confidence, social awareness and open approach to life-long learning is needed to succeed not just in their next academic steps, but in a fast-changing and increasingly challenging world.

The same ambition holds true for our staff team. Being a part of the Inspired network means that there are always colleagues and connections on hand for advice, inspiration and collaboration.
