KSI Teacher

Arnold House was founded in 1905 in St John's Wood. It is an independent preparatory school located in London, NW8, for boys from 3 to 13, and a member of IAPS (Independent Association of Prep Schools). In our most recent EQI ISI inspection it was reported that pupils' academic achievement and personal development are both excellent.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed KS1 Teacher to join the inspiring and friendly team in the Junior School at Arnold House.

As a KS1 teacher, you will teach subjects across the curriculum to your class of approximately 20 boys, with the support of a teaching assistant. We aim to make learning fun and varied for the boys, so in addition to more conventional lessons, there are trips and outings to places of interest, and the boys experience specialist teaching in several subjects, such as Art & Design, French and PE, where they start to learn core skills that will stand them in good stead when they start playing games at our Canons Park Activity Centre in Year 3.

Reading is a priority in Key Stage 1, with all boys having a weekly Library lesson in and maintaining a reading record between home and school.

Boys also benefit from several themed learning workshops at Canons Park. They are motivated by earning Golden Boy awards and Badges and Bars for industry, contribution and courtesy. These awards are much coveted and support their motivation and enthusiasm for becoming excellent all-round Arnold House pupils.

Arnold House offers excellent benefits including a competitive salary, access to our contributory pension scheme, free lunches during term time, access to the cycle to work scheme and a good proportion of non-contact time.

Generous benefits reflect the fact that teachers 'go the extra mile' in a school such as ours by contributing to sports, drama productions, trips, clubs and other activities.

All staff are appraised regularly and are encouraged to reflect on and develop their practice.

Arnold House is committed to promoting and protecting the mental and physical wellbeing of all our staff.
