Job overview
We are looking for a bright, caring and enthusiastic individual who will relish the opportunity to become a Year 4 Form Teacher to our very able pupils.
The successful candidate will be part of a friendly team who teaches one Year 3 class and two Year 4 classes, with 22 pupils in each class. The staff body is warm and supportive, and collaborative working with teaching, planning and assessment is encouraged. Both pupils and teachers are exceptionally motivated.
Junior Class Teachers teach English, Maths, History, Geography, Science, TPR (Theology, Philosophy and Religion) and PSHEE. Pupils work significantly above their chronological age. Specialist teachers take the pupils for subjects such as Computing, Games and PE, French, Art and Music.
Subject specialisms will be taken into account and we would aim to reflect these in the successful candidate’s timetable. Interests in taking a lead in Science/Maths would be of particular value, but are not pre-requisites.
This is an exciting time to join the Under School, as we look forward to our expansion to become a co-educational school for children aged 4 to 13, from September 2026, and the successful post-holder will be a key part of this transition.
If you have any follow up questions relating to the role, please do not hesitate to contact the acting Head of Juniors, Milly Langford (milly.langford@westminster.org.uk)

About Westminster Under School
Westminster Under School is a happy, ambitious, nurturing and inspiring world-class preparatory education for seven to 13 year olds. Pupils who love to learn are offered a supportive, dynamic and inspirational environment to fuel their curiosity.
Located in the heart of London, the School overlooks the beautiful school playing fields in Vincent Square and is just a few moments’ walk from Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. It is closely connected to Westminster School; in 1943, Westminster expanded its educational scope by forming the Under School, and the two schools share the same Governing Body and the same ethos of a liberal education.
Westminster Under School's curriculum is broad and diverse, aiming to foster a sense of wonder and inquisitiveness in children and encourage independent thought. The teaching programme goes above and beyond the National Curriculum and teachers are not tightly bound by syllabus. Pupils are taught a wide range of subjects by expert teachers who embrace opportunities for growth and promote diverse thinking, and who encourage them to ask questions about the world around them.
While the School's standard of our education is of the highest quality, the School’s focus is not only on academic achievement. Westminster pupils receive a full and rounded education that includes sport, the arts and many opportunities to engage in community outreach; pupils frequently take part in concerts, plays and in both internal and external competitions, and the School hosts festivals and events throughout the year. Like its older counterpart, Westminster Under School is fully committed to each pupil’s spiritual, moral, emotional and physical development and wellbeing – with a particular emphasis on drawing out individual talent wherever it lies – and to prepare young people for fulfilled private and public lives.
From September 2026, Westminster Under School will have opened its brand new pre-prep for girls and boys at 4+ and girls will have joined boys in Years 3 and 7, at the 7+ and 11+ entry points. By 2030, with the introduction of girls into Year 9 at Westminster School in 2028, all year groups across the two schools, from ages four to 18, will be fully co-educational, reflecting the School’s dedication to inclusivity and excellence.
