Our school boasts delightful children, supportive parents, and a team of dedicated professionals, making Norfolk House a truly exceptional workplace.
Pupils enjoy the freedom of a diverse and stimulating curriculum where staff can explore their interests and nurture the interests of the children. Small groups allow for tailored teaching and ensure there are opportunities for exploration and investigation, including taking advantage of the area surrounding the school.
The ideal candidate will have experience teaching children in KS1 or KS2 and a strong foundation in core subjects. There may also be opportunities for professional growth and experience teaching throughout the school.
In addition to a competitive salary, staff members enjoy benefits such as private medical insurance, complimentary lunch, and secure parking.
At Norfolk House School, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. As part of our recruitment process, applicants will undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). We may also conduct online searches on shortlisted candidates and request details of their online profiles.
The safeguarding responsibilities of the post are stated in full in the job description.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
This is a full time post to begin in September 2025.
To apply, please submit your application to Sarah Graham at info@norfolkhouseschool.co.uk by Wednesday 26th February, 12 noon.

Values and vision
Inspiring, achieving, and supporting are key components of Norfolk House School’s vision. In its Mission Statement, the school states its aim to encourage its pupils to develop “an enquiring mind within a family environment where they feel valued, fulfilled, confident and emotionally literate.” The school limits its intake to ensure that class numbers are small enough to allow close personal attention to be given to every pupil and to maintain very high standards of work.
The school aims to offer not only a first-rate academic education, but also a complete social education which emphasises good manners, mutual respect and self-discipline. Opportunities to develop social responsibility extend beyond the classroom with participation in visits and schemes designed to broaden pupils’ horizons.
