The role provides for 4 weeks’ paid holiday as well as normal bank holidays. Holidays should be taken in the school holidays. The School’s pension scheme is available.

Applications should comprise a completed school application form, and a covering letter, which should summarise the candidate’s background and reasons for applying. A CV may be added if desired.

Information about the school

Bronte School is an independent preparatory school for children aged 3 to 11. The School’s ethos is based upon the twin pillars of academic excellence and of being a family school. A stimulating and purposeful curriculum is accompanied by high quality academic management, which aims to provide inspiration and challenge for all the children of the school, analysing in detail progress and attainment for each individual boy and girl. Educational breadth is seen as complementary to depth and level of study. Art, music, PE and drama take their place alongside the humanities, languages, science, and the core subjects of English and mathematics.

The School has considerable success in supporting children through to a place at their first-choice school. For many this is a selective or super-selective grammar school, whilst others also go on independent schools or other types of state schools. Another route is to a major 13-18 boarding school, via a feeder prep school for Years 7 and 8.

Bronte is a small school, of around 150 pupils, in a single class entry, with maximum class size of 20. The teachers are dedicated, professional and supportive, caring deeply for the children and getting to know them very well. This personal attention forms a central part of the School’s family atmosphere. Pastoral care is very strong, and is seen as fundamental to the children’s success, happiness and sense of self-fulfilment.

The School has a Christian tradition, at the same time as having extensive diversity in the ethnic and cultural composition of its familes, reflecting that of the local area.

Bronte is privately owned, by Nicholas Clements. As Proprietor, he is responsible for the governance of the School. The Headmistress is Emma Wood. There is an Advisory Board, which provides support for the governance.

Bronte Nursery, the School’s sister setting, is large, high quality nursery, ages 3 months to 4 years. It is located about 200m away, also on Pelham Road.
