Our team are supportive, hard working and creative. We secure fantastic outcomes for our pupils whilst providing a nurturing and inspiring environment.
We are seeking a passionate and talented teacher to work in our Key Stage 2 team, as a teacher of Year 3 from September 2018.
Morley House caters for children from (rising) four years old until the age of eleven, and is located in an independent building in a pleasant residential area of Lewes.

The staff to pupil ratio is high, and children learn and play in a safe and creative environment, in which they are guided towards their Early Learning Goals. We are committed to offering our pupils a truly personalised education. Our numbers increase in Key Stage 2 which is 2 form entry from year 4/5.
Our small classes are tailored so that children have a range of experiences, sometimes working in mixed ability groups, and at other times in groups where their needs can be supported more specifically, by either stretching them beyond the content of the normal curriculum, or supporting areas of weakness.
Specialist teaching complements the pastoral care of the class teacher; throughout the school, subject experts teach our children PE, Music and Modern Foreign Languages. By Year 4, alongside these subjects, pupils benefit from a Computing and ICT specialist, in Year 5 Science is added, and by Year 6, Latin and Philosophy. We also have a Forest School program and use the facilities available to us in our Senior School.
If you feel that you have the qualities we are looking for and you are determined to achieve the absolute best for the pupils that you teach, we would be delighted to hear from you.
