Teaching Assistant (EHTM Pre-Prep)

Are you looking for an exciting and challenging role within a school environment?

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic, hard working and bright Teaching Assistant to join our team for April 2025. This is a position only open to graduates or those with a formal childcare qualification. No previous classroom experience is needed but the role would suit those contemplating a teaching career or similar.

Building confidence and self-belief with an emphasis on positive feedback and rewards is intrinsic in all we do. There is a strong culture of teachers and parents working together to ensure pupils’ welfare; our open-door policy means that parents can feel fully involved from the outset.

Our friendly teaching staff are excellent role models and are the first point of contact for our pupils and parents. Every boy is known and championed, which means that we soon learn to understand what makes him tick as an individual. We understand his interests and his ambitions and we aim to light a spark to help him fuel them. We believe that with the right level of welfare every boy can find his passion and learn to excel in his chosen area. With our support, boys grow in self-belief and maturity.

Kindergarten boys are invited to a new boys’ tea in the term before they start school, giving them the opportunity to meet their teacher and ensure a smooth transition from their nursery school. Our buddy system helps to integrate the newest boys into the school from the very beginning. The youngest boys are paired with the oldest boys, which helps to promote friendship and foster a greater sense of belonging and a more inclusive school community.

Successful candidates may be contacted prior to the application deadline date.
