Science teacher - maternity cover

Windlesham House School is one of the country’s leading independent prep schools, set in a beautiful 65 acre country estate on the South Downs. The oldest prep school in the country (est. 1837), Windlesham House has always led the way in embracing the new.

We are looking to recruit a well-qualified, dynamic and enthusiastic science teacher to provide maternity cover for one year.

Windlesham House School is fortunate to have a large science department made up of four specialist teachers and is housed in a modern building comprising four fully equipped laboratories and two preparation and storage rooms with the support of a part-time laboratory technician.

From Year 3, science is taught as a discrete subject by a specialist teacher in the department and the pupils in Years 7 & 8 work within our bespoke Windlesham Diploma syllabus. There is a strong emphasis on practical and investigative science and it is a popular subject throughout the school.

Our school mission is to provide a stimulating, nurturing and safe environment where pupils are happy and develop into confident, independent learners who embrace a challenge, gain a lifelong love of learning, are prepared to take risks and have kind and generous hearts.

Windlesham House teachers provide educational excellence through the provision of effective and inspiring teaching, encourage enthusiasm for learning and enable each pupil to achieve their potential. They will encourage pupils to be self-confident, self-motivated and self-disciplined within a safe, nurturing and caring community.

If you feel you are the right person for this role and can contribute to our values and aims as well as being part of a vibrant community, we would love to hear from you.
