Are you an experienced Primary teacher who is interested in a class teaching position in a prestigious independent preparatory school in central London…?

Tradewind Recruitment are working exclusively in partnership with an independent Jewish preparatory school in the Westminster area, who are looking to recruit class teachers across key Stage 1 and 2 from September 2019. The role will involve full class teaching responsibility, with flexibility on year group (across Key Stage 1 and 2) dependent upon your experience, and salary available in line with experience (MPS 1-6 Inner London - £29,663-£40,371+).

This prestigious Jewish preparatory school seeks to imbue its' students with a love of learning of both secular and Jewish studies, with 25% of pupil timetable dedicated to Jewish studies. This is achieved through the support they give each individual pupil and taking into account the religious beliefs they value in every decision one makes. This is a small and family friendly school whose success is based on the teamwork of all teaching and support staff. The school has a one form entry and roll of 175 girls and boys aged 2-11.

This Primary Teacher role will involve the following responsibilities:
*Plan, prepare and teach stimulating lessons to a Year 2, 3, 4 or 5 class, according to the educational needs of assigned pupils, including the setting and marking of both class work and homework
*Maintain a positive learning environment through classroom management among the pupils and safeguarding their health and safety
*Preparation of pupils for secondary school and selective school examinations
*Assess, record and report on the development, progress and attainment of pupils, as well as on their personal and social needs

Benefits of working at this school:
*Class sizes are small (around 16 pupils) and with a favourable ratio of teachers to children - as little as 1:5 depending on age and need - the school's programmes of learning have the flexibility for differentiation.
*The school offers a warm, nurturing atmosphere that develops self-confidence in their children, prepares them for the challenges ahead whilst never forgetting that childhood is a stage of life rather than a waiting room for adulthood.
*The curriculum offers the balance of an enriched secular education and the most comprehensive and fulfilling Jewish Studies programme of learning.
*The parents are extremely supportive of the school and this vital partnership is most important to the success of the child.

Although a Jewish faith school, the school are not as orthodox in comparison to other Jewish schools, and the 25% Jewish studies is delivered by specialist teachers, leaving additional time for PPA.
