Job overview

North Bridge House Preparatory School, founded in 1939, is an outstanding independent co-educational day school for pupils aged 7-13, with some 465 pupils on roll. 

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and conscientious practitioner; the role might suit either a teacher one or two years in post looking for their first leadership position, or an experienced Head of Languages.

The Head of Languages will oversee a department of five linguists delivering language teaching (French, Spanish, Mandarin, Latin, Ancient Greek) from Year 3 to Year 8.  The successful candidate will need to be able to teach French across all year groups.  The ability to offer a second language would be an advantage.  All pupils study French. From Year 5 upwards pupils study a second language – either Mandarin, Spanish or Latin.
