Job overview
To start as soon as possible
King’s House School was founded in Richmond in 1946 and has been a boys’ prep school since then until September 2024, when girls joined for the first time as we move to co-education. The school operates on three sites in or around Kings Road, which is on the very pleasant setting of Richmond Hill. The Senior Department (for pupils from Year 4 to Year 8) is at 68 Kings Road, the Junior Department on its own site just down the hill, and the Nursery around the corner on Princes Road. The school also has a 35-acre sports ground just over Barnes Bridge, where there are numerous pitches, athletics facilities, cricket nets, tennis courts, two 3G pitches and all-weather pitch.
The overall role of the HLTA for the Senior Department at King’s House School is to help provide the pupils within the school with the support they need to promote their learning and well-being whilst being constantly mindful of their pastoral and safeguarding needs. The suitable candidate will need to plan, run, and reflect upon a range of interventions that will be academic (English) or focused on executive functioning.
