Job overview
Located in the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells, The Mead educates boys and girls from age 3 to 11. At the end of Year 6, the majority of children transition to the local state grammar system with a good number also achieving awards and scholarships to local independent schools. At present, we have approximately 240 children on roll.
The Mead is a happy school which nurtures caring, thoughtful children. The staff place great emphasis on nurturing and developing the talents of each pupil, encouraging them to have open and enquiring minds which will equip them to thrive in the next stage of their education. Academic standards are high and the curriculum is broad and challenging with a strong emphasis on the performing arts and sport. Our pastoral care is outstanding and our ethos, entitled The Mindset of a Meadite, aims to embed the core values of Compassion, Ambition and Curiosity throughout our daily routine.
We are seeking to appoint a talented and enthusiastic KS1 or KS2 class teacher to join a supportive, caring and professional team. The successful candidate will be experienced in teaching KS1 and/or KS2, will deliver inspirational lessons and be ambitious in their own personal and professional development. We have deliberately made this job advert as broad as possible so that we might attract an application from any outstanding classroom practitioners, regardless of their experience (NQTs welcome) or year group preference. The successful candidate will benefit from small class sizes and a progressive working environment where teachers are given substantial autonomy to develop a creative curriculum.
