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
