Caldicott is one of the country’s most prestigious Independent Boarding and Day Preparatory Schools for Boys. We are a flourishing school with around 270 boys from 7 to 13 years old, with all boys boarding in the final two years. We deliver a first class education, sporting provision and a rich variety of music, drama, arts and extracurricular opportunities in a friendly and supportive working environment. The school is only twenty miles from central London in a beautiful location.

We are seeking an ambitious and dynamic teacher who will seize an exciting opportunity to work at Caldicott. The successful candidate will teach Physical Education and Games to all year groups; will hold a relevant undergraduate degree and have a good understanding of the KS2 and KS3 curriculum (up to year 8). S/he will be expected to be involved in the school’s extensive extra-curricular sporting programme as well as contribute to the wider life of the school. 

The ability to coach at least one of Caldicott’s major games to a high level is a pre-requisite and there may be an opportunity for an outstanding candidate to lead the Football provision at the School.

We are keen to see candidates who have:

· a passion for Sport and PE;

· a strong sporting and sports coaching background; 

· excellent interpersonal and team working skills and

· a genuine enthusiasm for contributing to the wider school community and the boarding school environment. 

This role requires a strong commitment to supporting this age range pastorally and requires full involvement in the boarding life of the school. 

This post is suitable for an NQT or a more experienced teacher. We offer a generous salary; a comprehensive employee assistance programme; accommodation; all meals during term time; excellent resources; a high standard of on-site facilities and motivated, enthusiastic and polite students. 

Caldicott is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment.  The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Caldicott is a thriving day and boarding country prep school for boys aged 7 – 13 in South Buckinghamshire. Situated in 40 acres of magnificent grounds, we are just 15 miles from Heathrow Airport and 30 minutes from West London. We pride ourselves on our warm community where our pupils are happy and feel valued.

The success of Caldicott in recent years has led some to describe the school as amongst the country’s top prep schools, yet our approach to the education we provide stems from an ethos fostered by our founder, Mr J Heald Jenkins. He believed that decency, tolerance and humanity would enable each boy to ‘shine their light on the world’.

The main point of entry into Caldicott is in Year 3 and Year 4, although some boys join later. All boys board in Year 7 and Year 8 with the option to flexi/occasional board between Year 3 - Year 6.

Most boys leave at 13 to the finest independent senior schools with outstanding grades and routinely succeed in scholarship applications including academic, sport, music, art, drama and ‘all-rounder’ awards. Further details regarding future schools and scholarship success following Caldicott can be found here...

Caldicott is committed to an education that has the wellbeing of each boy at its heart; to develop individuals who thrive and flourish in the fullest sense. We aim to equip our children to be happy and confident, form lasting relationships with others and tackle each challenge with grit and good humour. Our community is not only warm and welcoming from the staff and pupil body, but also our parents form the Friends of Caldicott who bring the whole community together with fantastic events throughout the year.
