Year 3 Class Teacher - Prep

The opening of Rugby School Thailand, a coeducational day and boarding school for 2–18 year olds, provides a unique and exciting opportunity to be involved in the development of a school that has the site, the location and the ambition to become one of the top schools in Asia.

Nursery – Year 6 will begin in September 2017, and Years 7 – 13 (including boarding) will start from September 2018.

Rugby School Thailand is the first overseas school partnered by Rugby School UK, and it will share Rugby UK’s ethos and ‘whole person’ vision for its pupils. Rugby UK will be involved in the recruitment of senior staff and will play a key role in formulating school policies and ensuring that the high standards of Rugby School are maintained.

As such, Rugby School Thailand, unlike most international schools, will be structured according to the very best of the UK independent school model, with a Pre-Prep, a Prep and a Senior School. The School will focus upon breadth of experience, character development and, of course, academic achievement.

The Prep School (Years 3 – 8) enjoys its own space and outstanding facilities within the school’s extensive 74 acre site. Starting with one class per year group up to Year 6 in September 2017, the Prep School will add Years 7 and 8 in September 2018 and has been designed to accommodate c 400 pupils. 

The Year 3 Class Teacher will be responsible for the academic progress and pastoral care of the pupils in the class. The successful candidate will have an impressive teaching record at Year 3 or similar age groups, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, a caring and professional approach, a commitment to the ethos and values of Rugby School, and a willingness to participate fully in the life of a busy day and boarding school.
