Job overview
We are looking for an exceptional teacher to join Benedict House Prep School in Sidcup.
You will be brilliant inside and outside the classroom and have exceptional commitment, drive and passion for the education of primary school, KS2 children.
About Us:
Benedict House is a family-based, co-educational preparatory school with an outstanding reputation, which places the careful, nurturing and rounded education of the children in our care at its core. We encourage impressive results from happy children for a fee, which we strive to keep accessible to many. We will always remain true to this philosophy whilst striving to constantly improve what we deliver.
Our 11+ and end of KS2 results are similarly, consistently excellent. Interest and applications to our school are impressively high. Constantly looking for ways to improve the teaching and learning environment for the school, Benedict House forms part of the Alpha Schools Group, which includes ten other schools surrounding London and in the North of the country. All of our schools have an outstanding reputation and often feature very highly in league tables for Best Preps in the UK.
Our Ideal Candidate:
You will be an experienced KS2 Teacher who is outstanding in the classroom, understanding that these are the crucial years in which we should see every child achieving their potential and moving towards the end of their primary education as confident, happy, articulate and enthusiastic individuals. Our ideal candidate will have outstanding communication skills, being able to motivate and inspire our pupils, and encourage them to develop both academically and personally. Experience of working towards the 11+ is desirable, but not essential.
Be it NQT or seasoned practitioner, the key quality we are searching for is the 'wow factor' in the classroom - can you grab the attention of the whole class and keep it whilst delivering outstanding teaching to each child? Are you prepared to think carefully about how to enhance your lessons, your classroom, and your pastoral care? Do you have the passion to 'roll-up your sleeves' and 'get stuck-in' in every aspect of our small school? If you do, we'd like to talk to you.
The position is temporary maternity cover, with a view of becoming permanent in the future.
Please email your application along with a cover letter to sophie.cole@alphaschools.co.uk
