Year 1 & 2 Teacher

Hall School Wimbledon is the only non-selective, co-educational, all-through 5-18 school in Wimbledon. The school sits on one attractive site based at The Downs in Wimbledon. The school is extensively resourced with a variety of facilities both on-site and at our extensive playing fields ‘Oberon’ a 15-minute walk from the main site.

Our belief is that anything is possible and that all pupils should engage fully in their own learning. The core values of Hall School Wimbledon are its 3 Is - Inclusive, Individual and Inspiring. This is our DNA and gives us direction, provides cohesion and a sense of mission. From our youngest Junior pupils to our Sixth Form students - all pupils and students are valued, regardless of academic prowess, artistic flair or sporting ability, with opportunities for all to join in and try new things. Our outstanding approach to pastoral care, coupled with a broad curriculum, supports our pupils to develop into well-rounded individuals on their educational journey.

Inclusive – We are an inclusive school, where every pupil is celebrated for who they are. We pride ourselves on spotting and nurturing the talents of all our pupils, enabling each one to be the best they can be.  At HSW, pupils have an incredibly broad range of achievements in academia, sports, music, dance, art and literature.

Individual – Every child is valued and treated as an individual at HSW. Our small class sizes and intimate campus in the heart of Wimbledon foster a relaxed, friendly and family-orientated environment. Pastoral Care is central to what we do, with many outlets available for our pupils to be guided holistically, as they progress through their educational journey. 

Inspiring - From the earliest days at HSW, we have sought to think differently about education without forgetting the basics of learning and teaching.  We are committed to providing our young people with passionate, outstanding educational practitioners, who can inspire them through innovation and creativity. Throughout the school, we offer an exciting and broad curriculum to every child in our care. By the time our pupils leave us, we aim to have nurtured confident, empowered and globally-minded young people, who are equipped to lead society through the challenges of our times. With a thoughtful balance between academic teaching and co-curricular activities, supported with personalised pastoral care, we aim to create a fully rounded educational experience that will allow our pupils’ future to take flight.

Vision Going Forward

The school is on an upward trajectory. HSW has recently had a significant strategic change by merging the Junior School pupils on to the Senior School site at The Downs. For the first time in the school’s history, HSW is becoming one ‘joined-up community’ on one site - and this is the start of our vision moving forward.

In addition, the school is expanding to introduce a new educational phase to its age range – a 16 -18 Sixth Form. The new Sixth Form will embrace the inclusive nature that HSW already has to offer, will continue to be co-educational, and will inspire students to become well-rounded individuals. It will also allow our students a platform to be successful, from which they are able to move on to their next destination of choice, whether it be university, apprenticeships or the world of work.

It is our vision going forward, to build upon this excellent work to make HSW an outstanding school to work and learn in every section of the school – Junior, Senior and Sixth Form. All children deserve, at the very least, a good education and it is our aim to provide them with the very best.
