Job overview

The Dragon seeks to appoint a graduate to teach Maths to Years 4 to 8 who will be willing to make a wide contribution to the life of this busy, exciting and successful school. The position would suit a teacher with senior school (independent or maintained sector) experience, as well as those who have experience of teaching children of prep school age (8-13 years), whether as a newly qualified teacher or teaching for a number of years. Children take Common Entrance and Scholarship exams to leading senior schools at the end of Year 8. 

The Dragon School was founded in 1877 to educate the sons of dons.  From these modest beginnings the School has grown to be an internationally renowned independent day and boarding preparatory school for over 600 boys and girls aged 8 to 13.  In September 1995 the School (which has charitable status) opened a pre-prep on the Woodstock Road for about 200 more children aged 4 to 7.  

The Dragon was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in November 2014 and was found to be “Excellent” in all areas of teaching and pastoral care and “Exceptional” with regard to “The Quality of Pupils’ Achievements and Learning”.

Closing Date: Friday February 23rd 2018

Dragon School is one of Britain’s leading preparatory schools, offering a first-class day and boarding education for girls and boys aged 4-13 years. Located in the heart  of the city of Oxford, the Dragon provides a distinctive  educational experience that not only celebrates childhood  and the joy of learning, but also prepares young people  with the skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world and  continue to ‘Reach for the Sun’ (Arduus ad Solem). Academic excellence for all sits at the heart of a Dragon education. As a school, the Dragon is constantly  seeking to innovate, developing the curriculum both  in and out of the classroom. Dragon QUEST, the Saturday enrichment programme, is a unique opportunity to stretch pupils further, giving children  the freedom to learn new and unfamiliar skills, from beekeeping to exploring anthropology; we are only limited by our imaginations. Equally, ‘giving back’ is integral to being a grounded Dragon.
