Prep School Teacher

Would you thrive in a school ethos that provides a “family” environment for our pupils in a dynamic, vibrant learning culture where the character, personality and individuality of all pupils are developed?

This is an exciting opportunity to join our fantastic team in a top independent co-educational school for children from ages 3 to 16 years. Consistent with our traditional values, classes are small, behavioural standards are exceptional, and pastoral care is second to none. We are very focused on top quality teaching and learning, and expect all of our pupils to make exceptional progress. 

The successful candidate will be a qualified practitioner who has a passion for driving excellence in teaching and learning and the commitment to raise standards in progress and achievement.  We are looking for someone who is meticulous with assessment and associated record keeping.  The appointed candidate will also be highly organised, approachable and able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills and will lead by example to inspire and motivate our pupils.  The successful candidate will also be expected to make an enthusiastic contribution to the extra-curricular provision within our school.  

We recruit high calibre staff who are committed to achieving the highest standards but, equally importantly, have the ability to look ahead with enthusiasm to contribute to the future of the School.   If you are passionate about the life chances of young people and possess the expertise required then we would love to hear from you.

Cognita Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, volunteers and other third parties to share this commitment.  Safer recruitment practice and pre-employment background checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed.  In addition to all other background checks, appointment is subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check for regulated activity (if you have lived in the UK) and/or Overseas Checks for all other countries in which you have lived or worked (for 3 months or more in any one country in the past 10 years) and your country of origin.
