Job overview
The British Primary School of Wilanow (BSW) is seeking to appoint an exceptional KS2 Teacher to join a forward-thinking, dynamic team in Warsaw's fastest growing international school. This role is for an August 2018 start.
The School
The British Primary School of Wilanow offers a strong British education, founded in the National Curriculum for England and enhanced to meet the requirements of the Polish Education Ministry. It is located in the upscale Warsaw suburb of Wilanow, where old meets new and city meets country.

The Primary School opened in Autumn 2014, in purpose-built accommodation on a charming greenfield site, with a handful of Nursery-age children. Numbers for 17-18 have grown to around 160 and there are waiting lists in most yeargroups. It is predicted that the school will reach 200 pupils by September 2018.
