We are seeking to appoint a fantastic teacher to join our teaching team from September 2021.

We are looking for someone who is:

Excellent in the classroom, with an outstanding ability to engage and enthuse children
Able to challenge, support and motivate all children to achieve high standards
Open to new ideas and willing to commit to new initiatives
Eager to take a full and active part in all aspects of our school community
An excellent communicator with pupils, parents and staff
Naturally positive and a fun team player – with a great sense of humour!

In return, we can offer you the opportunity to:

Teach well behaved, highly motivated children who are keen to develop their own learning
Work within a school community that is proud of its achievements and well-motivated to continue to develop further
Work within a supportive team
Regular PPA time with the members of the year team
Great professional development tailored to fit your needs

Information about the school

St Edmund's School is a co-educational day and boarding school with c. 570 pupils from the ages of 3 to 18. The school is officially designated “a school of religious character”.

The Pre-Prep, Junior, and Senior Schools are on the same site and are closely integrated, using the same Chapel, music and art facilities, dining hall, science laboratories and sports hall. The school prides itself on its friendly, family environment where every pupil and staff member is known and valued.

Although the majority of children are day pupils, one quarter of the school’s pupils are boarders, from a wide range of backgrounds. The school operates a five-day teaching week, but also runs a Saturday morning activities programme which is optional for Senior School day pupils. All boarders participate in both Saturday and Sunday activities programmes.

The school adjoins the University of Kent and is able to make use of many of the University's facilities: the Templeman Library, the Gulbenkian theatre and the public lectures amongst others. London’s West End is within easy reach.
