Advert

An opportunity to work in an ambitious primary-age department within an exciting 3-16 independent day school. Our close-knit teams of Kindergarten and Junior School teachers deliver a broad curriculum to small classes, drawing inspiration and well-being from our beautiful, leafy setting in the grounds of the home of Charles Dickens.

As we continue an exciting phase of growth and expansion, Gad’s Hill School requires a talented and passionate primary school teacher to join our team and to teach children within our Kindergarten department (KS1) - although our teachers understand that over time they may be deployed across Key Stages (EYFS/KS1/KS2) as required.

In our school, all children are nurtured and educated as individuals. Teachers know the children well and enjoy wonderfully strong relationships with their classes. As well as teaching core primary subjects to a high standard, you will be required to demonstrate exceptional Form Tutor abilities, including maintaining behaviour through our reward systems, providing pastoral care and tracking individual academic progress. You will be able to communicate effectively with parents via email, telephone and face to face.

Our children are encouraged to take part in after-school clubs provided by all teachers. Additionally, teachers are required to attend some evening musical performances to assist with pupil supervision, pupil social events run in conjunction with our excellent parent helpers, whole school evening events such as Prize-giving and Carol Concerts and to also attend the evening performances such as our Junior Production.
