for September 2024
As a traditional girls’ boarding school with a modern twist, we offer an enriching, caring and creative environment, where every girl is challenged and supported in equal measure.
As a Housemistress/master in the Upper School (ages 13–16) you will be leading a dedicated pastoral team who are committed to providing an inspiring environment where the girls will learn, develop and flourish. To be successful you will ideally be a qualified or experienced teacher with boarding/pastoral experience and plenty of energy, enthusiasm and resilience. You will also have another position in the School that will normally equate to about a 50% timetable. The opportunities for other roles are varied and include teaching and operational positions.
Fully funded, 2-3 bedroom accommodation will be provided. We recognise that our wonderful staff are key to our success, and we offer a supportive working environment, with competitive terms and conditions and a wide range of opportunities for continuous professional development. We are also a Microsoft Showcase School where your IS skills will be developed and you will be provided with a Microsoft Surface.
