Job overview
St Anthony’s School for Boys seeks to appoint an enthusiastic teacher of Religious Studies within the Humanities Faculty, which includes RS, Geography and History. In addition to Religious Studies, ideally the person appointed will be able to teach another Humanities subject or be prepared to turn their hand to a new discipline. Religious Studies however will constitute the majority of contact time with pupils. The Faculty benefits from excellent resources and recently revised SoWs, and the teaching allocation for this post will be for boys from Years 6 to 8. The RS specification follows the curriculum set down by the Diocese of Westminster’s Education Service in accordance with the Catholic identity of St Anthony’s. Boys in Years 7 and 8 are prepared to sit Common Entrance exams before moving to their senior schools.
The school welcomes applications from newly qualified or existing teachers currently working in the maintained or independent sector. Professional development is taken seriously and the school is keen to support teachers improve their practice, gain new skills, and prepare for leadership roles. All teachers are asked to contribute to the co-curricular programme which is likely to mean running an after-school club one day a week. Trips, both local and further afield, are encouraged and popular amongst boys and staff. The Enrichment programme, embedded into the curriculum, has led to very strong academic outcomes evidenced by an increase in competitive senior school offers and scholarships.
St Anthony’s is a kind and caring community with all staff committed to putting the interests of the boys first.

Brief History
St Anthony’s is a Catholic Preparatory School (IAPS) for boys aged 4 – 13. It is Roman Catholic but welcomes boys of other faiths. There are currently over 310 pupils on roll and the school is looking to increase this number to 330 over the next few years. The majority of boys transfer to leading Independent schools.
St. Anthony’s school was founded by Richard Patton during the Victorian period in Eastbourne. It moved to its Hampstead location in 1952 and has been managed by the Alpha Plus Group since 2009.
Ethos and values
The school operates a two-form entry with approximately 20 boys in each class from Reception up to and including Year 6. About half the year group leave St Anthony’s to join Year 7 senior schools including UCS, City of London and Highgate. The remaining pupils stay on to prepare for Common Entrance at the end of Year 8 before proceeding to leading boarding and day schools such as Harrow, Eton, St Paul’s and Westminster.
The school is not super-selective and promotes a caring, nurturing environment promoting the holistic education of each child. We speak of St Anthony’s as a greenhouse rather than a hothouse! Pastoral and academic expectations are high amongst parents and staff. The school adds significant value to pupils’ learning and there is great emphasis on regular communication between boys, staff and pupils.
St Anthony’s achieved ‘Excellent’ in all categories of the ISI full-school inspection in November 2019 - the school is now pursuing an ambitious development plan incorporating digital literacy with outstanding academic, pastoral and co-curricular provision.
