Blackheath, United Kingdom Blackheath Prep Full time

Introduction

Blackheath Prep is an independent prep school for just over 370 students aged 3 to 11. Founded in 1996, it occupies a beautiful five-acre site close to Blackheath village. Its original Georgian and Victorian buildings have been extended and adapted to include large playgrounds and extensive playing fields, tennis courts, cricket nets and a Forest School area. In April 2023 we were delighted to announce our merger with Eltham College to form a family of schools. 

It is a remarkable school with outstanding facilities, a formidable track record in academic success and impressive achievements in Music, Sport, Drama and Art. In January 2024, Blackheath Prep was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and received outstanding feedback on every aspect of the school.


The Role

Blackheath Prep is seeking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational Key Stage One Class Teacher for a fixed term contract to begin as soon as possible until July 2025.

At Blackheath Prep, the collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our community holds represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our achievements as well.

Members of staff to act as role models for the children and their families through curriculum content and conduct which demonstrates our commitment to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.  Commitment to ensuring that all members of our community can see themselves in the texts and topics through which we deliver our broad and balanced curriculum. Teamwork and participation, permitting the representation of all groups and perspectives within our unique community. Regular INSET and opportunities for development which keep practice current and research informed. 


Every member of staff at Blackheath Prep is committed to ensuring that all children are enabled to reach their full potential. We therefore welcome applications from candidates who demonstrate an ability and genuine desire to see children shine and exceed their own and our expectations of them.
