We are looking for a caring, energetic, friendly, confident, invincible superhuman!  You will be right at the centre of the school and will be everything to everyone! This is not a role for the faint-hearted - you will need passion for our environment, the ability to multi-task, to be efficient and hard-working but always within the ethos and spirit of the school. A sense of humour is very important and so is a real desire to contribute to the wellbeing of staff, pupils and parents.  Much will depend on you in this small and very busy school.

 

Information about the school

Lorenden Prep School is a small school of approximately 120 pupils, ages 3-11, with an excellent local reputation; most pupils come to the school from recommendations from other parents or staff. It is a friendly, family environment with one form entry and with high expectations of pupils of all ages. This year Lorenden celebrates our 30th anniversary. Lorenden was awarded the highest grades of ‘Excellent’ in all categories in its most recent Educational Quality Inspection by ISI. The Head is a member of IAPS and Lorenden is within the Methodist Independent Schools Trust.

Lorenden has flourished because staff have given generously and willingly of their time and energy to aid the academic and personal development of the pupils in the many forms that this may take.

It is the abiding hope of the Governors and Head that all staff will approach their employment by the school in that same spirit. We develop self-disciplined, thoughtful children with a cheerful ‘can-do’ attitude to life and a strong sense of fair play. We thoroughly prepare our children socially, physically and intellectually for secondary education so that they can take with them happy memories of their time with us.
