Job overview
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for someone who is driven, energetic and passionate about Early Year’s education and would like to be involved in the development of a new section of Falcons Preparatory School for Boys.
The Role
From September 2020, Falcons Prep will be opening a Reception class and Lower School to make it a 4-13 School for boys. This is a new senior post reflecting the exciting developments and future of the school. The role involves teaching responsibility for Reception in the first year and for the right person, this job may result in future opportunities in leading the entire section of the school.
The main focus of the role is to oversee all areas of learning, curriculum development, pastoral care and personal growth for boys joining Falcons Prep at the age of 4, with an emphasis on providing high quality learning opportunities for all. The Head of Early Years will be expected to act as a pioneer in developing a new curriculum, new initiatives and innovative pedagogy for Early Years teaching at Falcons Prep.
We are committed to creating a curriculum that is adaptive, collaborative, innovative and academically rigorous and developing strategies to improve outcomes and foster independent, lifelong learning.
The School
We ensure that every boy at Falcons has a happy and fulfilling experience whilst at school. Above all, we encourage academic endeavour and that each boy strives, gives of his best, and achieves his goals. We place equal importance on his social, moral and cultural growth. At all times the boys are expected to uphold the ethos of the school in a positive manner and are proud ambassadors; not only on site but when representing Falcons at outside events, activities and fixtures. We foster a desire to learn by offering a curriculum that has breadth, balance and challenge.
At Falcons we maintain high expectations and place a strong emphasis on acknowledging the positive ways in which the boys conduct themselves and interact with others. Trust, honesty, good manners, a hardworking attitude and respect for the environment and above all, each other, are intrinsic in all that we teach. We place great emphasis on the strength of our community and the boys being considerate, courteous and tolerant of the needs of others. In this environment they have the opportunity to grow academically, on the sports field, artistically, on stage, and to take leadership responsibilities in many different areas. Life at Falcons Preparatory School is a unique experience.
Closing date: Friday 8th November at 12pm
Interviews will take place week commencing 18th November
