Ely, United Kingdom Kings Ely Full time

About this Role

**An introduction to King’s Ely**

**History**

King’s Ely can trace its origins from at least 970AD, making it one of the oldest schools in Europe. The School was first established to educate the choristers of the worshipping community of Ely and throughout our history we have maintained strong links with Ely Cathedral.

In 1541, King Henry VIII founded a College of Canons at Ely Cathedral to replace the monks whose monastery has been dissolved in 1539 and the School received its Royal Charter, later becoming known as “The King’s School”.

**King’s Ely Today**

In recent years King’s has expanded rapidly, becoming co-educational in 1970, and today educating around 1150 children aged 2-18 at Ely, including 200 boarders.

The school is divided into three sections: King’s Ely Senior (age 13-18) and King’s Ely Prep (age 7-13), which occupy adjacent campuses and benefit from shared facilities, and King’s Ely Acremont and Nursery (ages 2-6) which have their own self-contained campus about 400m from the main site. Additionally, Fairstead House School in Newmarket (for pupils aged 1-11) joined the King’s Ely family of schools in 2022.

The main campus extends to around 75 acres and contains buildings spanning the thirteenth to twenty-first centuries, including many of the historic monastic buildings adjacent to Ely Cathedral as well as more recent, purpose-built facilities and almost 40 acres of playing fields.

King’s Ely plays a key role in the local community. We are one of Ely’s largest employers and contribute greatly to the local economy, and we also continue to educate the choristers of Ely Cathedral. King’s Ely is also a proud founder member of the Cambridgeshire Education Partnership, which numbers twelve local schools working together to improve educational attainment locally, especially for disadvantaged children. King’s Ely also offers a number of bursaries to enable pupils from all walks of life to benefit from the education it offers.

King’s Ely is affiliated with the HMC, Society of Heads, IAPS, the Boarding Schools’ Association and the Choir Schools’ Association, and has been awarded ‘excellent’ in all categories by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in 2021.

**Purpose, Ethos and Values**

King’s Ely exists to make the most and best of childhood, and in particular to give the very best education, opportunities and pastoral care to as diverse a community of children as we can. In doing so we aim to prepare each one to live positive, productive, successful and fulfilled lives, for the betterment of themselves and the world around them. We achieve this through the operation of a family of schools centred around a 2-18 co-educational day and boarding school in Ely, aiming to draw fully on our exceptional environment, history, physical, cultural, spiritual and human resources in doing so.

We seek a Nursery Practitioner with a minimum Level 3 qualification or equivalent to join our exceptional team. This role is offered as a permanent full-time position. In 2021, King’s Ely Acremont Nursery (KEAN), as part of the wider King’s Ely community, was rated ‘Excellent’ in all areas in an ISI inspection and it benefits from being a bright and spacious setting in the grounds of a beautiful period property in the centre of Ely.
