Key Stage 2 Class Teacher (One Year Contract – Maternity Cover)

Required:         April 2025
Closing Date:  Wednesday 4th December 2024

Brentwood Preparatory School is a large, academically selective IAPS school with outstanding facilities, small class sizes and a happy and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of over 1900 pupils, just 20 minutes from London Liverpool Street.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a dynamic, driven and innovative individual to join this high-performing and superbly resourced Preparatory School. We are the largest tied house Prep School in the country and we pride ourselves on knowing and delivering an outstanding all-round education to every child.

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified individual to join our teaching staff as a Class Teacher in Key Stage Two for one year. The school is currently transitioning to the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (The PYP) and, for that reason, we are keen to appoint someone with an enthusiasm for learning new teaching practices and curriculum design.

The role of Class Teacher involves teaching English and Maths as well as other subjects as directed by the Deputy Head (Academic). The ability to teach Computer Science is desirable but not essential. At the heart of the Class Teacher role is delivering excellent pastoral care for the pupils and taking the time to know each pupil as an individual.

All of our teaching staff are versatile in terms of which subjects they teach and are prepared to undertake the planning and delivery for a range of different subjects if required. All teachers actively contribute to our Co-Curricular programme and our Pastoral work.

Brentwood School has its own pay scale that is significantly above the maintained sector and we also have a range of subsidised staff accommodation that may be available for the successful applicant should they need to relocate.

Applications can be submitted through the TES website, alternatively applicants who do not have a TES account should use the relevant Interactive Recruitment Form on this page. The School reserves the right to change these dates, and to close the vacancy at any time.

Brentwood School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
