Teacher of History

There is a purposeful buzz to the Prep School at Bishop’s Stortford College and visitors often comment on the positive, happy atmosphere they experience. We are a strong community with the development, both academic and personal, of the pupils at our heart. The relationship between pupils and staff is key to generating and sustaining progress and I hope you will want to become part of the team responsible for creating this environment and lead the learning and teaching.

As a College we believe in investing in the professional development of our staff and as a consequence you will be given the opportunity, and encouraged, to enhance your own understanding of schools and schooling.

Bishop’s Stortford College is a place of learning that provides an outstanding range of opportunities for developing well-rounded, skilful and happy young people. We pride ourselves on doing this in a beautiful environment with the best facilities.
