Pre-Preparatory Teacher(s)

Required from September 2023

Boarding and Day Prep School in West Berkshire for boys and girls aged 3-13

We are expanding our Pre-Prep at Elstree school and from September 2023 are looking for full-time teacher(s) to come and join our team of dedicated and passionate teachers. We welcome applications from Early Careers Teachers as well as more experienced practitioners.  

Elstree Pre-Prep is an exciting place to work. We are a close community and pride ourselves on the very special, warm environment that has evolved since our inception, influenced largely by the family principles of Elstree School. We are often the first experience of school life and understand how important these initial steps on the educational road are. We understand each parent’s desire for their child to feel happy and secure and consider our role in the children’s development and happiness to be a very privileged one. Our committed, energetic and enthusiastic staff look forward to working in partnership with parents throughout their child’s time at the Pre-Prep. All children are valued as individuals and are encouraged to explore and develop their talents to the full.

Elstree Pre-Prep consists of eight classes catering for boys and girls from 3-7 years old. It was founded in 1993 with just eight pupils and now caters for around ninety children.  We are situated on a site of great natural beauty between Reading and Newbury and have an excellent academic record combined with first-rate facilities. The children are taught in classes by their class teacher for the majority of the day but have specialist teachers for Music, French, Drama and PE.
