Prep School Teacher

Strathallan School in Perthshire is seeking to appoint an inspirational, committed and enthusiastic Prep School Teacher (primary trained) to join our Prep school from September 2021. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher to develop their skills within a well-established, vibrant and successful prep school. In this full-time, permanent position, the successful candidate will plan, prepare and deliver high quality lessons to pupils as well as contribute to the co-curricular life of a busy day and boarding school.

Strathallan Prep is a small, close community for boys and girls aged 8 to 13 years. With average class sizes of between 12 & 14 pupils, Strathallan Prep is small enough to promote inclusion yet big enough to encourage diversity, with pupils attending from the local community as well as across the globe. 

Riley House provides a home-from-home atmosphere for both day and boarding pupils where pupils can relax in the main common room, TV lounge, Games room, snug and quiet areas.

With its own classrooms, social areas and outdoor space, our pupils enjoy the expertise of dedicated primary school teachers and the specialist input of subject teachers from the senior school. We ensure each child has a good grounding in core subjects such as Mathematics, English, Modern Languages and Science before moving on to further study. This gradual exposure to specialist teaching allows pupils to make good progress in the many subjects they will pursue in senior school.

Our School exists to provide an inclusive all-round education for its pupils in a nurturing and caring environment. Our aim is to engage pupils to be their best and prepare them for the demands of further study and future work. We do this through opportunities that inspire and challenge and by expecting effort and hard work from each individual pupil in achieving their best, based on values of respect, kindness, love, honesty, hard work, humility and excellence.

Further details on this opportunity can be obtained from the School's website. The closing date for applications is Thursday, 4 March 2021 at 12pm. Interviews are expected to be held on either Thursday, 11 March or Friday, 12 March 2021.
