Teachers Wanted for Brand New School

Job Description

Please make sure you read the following details carefully before making any applications.

Are you ready to step into a role that feels different from mainstream education?

We are working with a brand new independent pre-preparatory school opening in September 2026 offering an exciting opportunity for exceptional teachers to join a founding team and help shape something truly special.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not your typical teaching position.

• 48 weeks per year structure
• 4 weeks holiday to take whenever suits you with an additional 2 weeks at Christmas and Easter (outside standard school restrictions)
• Enhanced salary bands (above standard state sector pay)
• Work alongside subject specialists and experts in their field
• Be part of a founding team shaping a brand-new prep school

This role offers a rare balance of professional autonomy, flexibility, and intellectual teaching.

About the School

This independent prep school is built around a classical, knowledge-rich curriculum, with a strong emphasis on:

• Language, literature and storytelling
• Curiosity-led enquiry
• Academic rigour alongside creativity
• Small class sizes and personalised learning

You’ll be surrounded by professionals who are true specialists in their subjects — creating a culture of depth, passion and high-quality teaching.

The Role

• Deliver engaging, thoughtful lessons across EYFS / KS1
• Inspire children through language, stories and structured learning
• Support each child’s academic and personal development
• Collaborate with subject specialists to enrich the curriculum
• Play a key role in building the school’s culture from day one

Who This Would Suit

This role is ideal for teachers who:

• Want to move away from high-volume, high-pressure mainstream environments
• Value quality teaching over box-ticking
• Are passionate about early years / KS1 education done properly
• Enjoy working alongside experts and specialists
• Are excited by the idea of building something from the ground up

What You’ll Get

• Competitive, enhanced salary package
• Greater flexibility with your time and holidays
• A calm, purposeful teaching environment
• Opportunities to specialise and grow your expertise
• A genuinely rewarding role where your impact is visible daily
