Secondary English Teacher

About the school

Richmond Park School is an exciting new project located in a highly attractive residential area well connected to the centre of Madrid. The school opened with Early Years and Primary in September 2019 and is led by two highly experienced leaders of education for Primary and Secondary, supported by a strong private company with a vast experience of British education in Spain. As planned, the school is growing substantially. Early Years through to Year 5 are already at full capacity with three classes per year group. The Secondary section has two classes per year group and will extend to three classes year by year as the lower classes move up. An exciting new phase began in September 2022 when students inaugurated the recently completed secondary building. Year 11 have just completed their first set of IGCSEs and gained excellent results and the school is a candidate school to introduce the International Baccalaureate for our new VI Form. We are planning a brand new VI Form Centre with superb facilities to be ready from September 2025.

The school focuses on the academic and holistic development of each pupil. Our broad English curriculum, further extended through co-curricular projects and experiences, will empower all pupils to fulfil their potential through acquiring high-level knowledge, deep understanding, and extensive skills. Pupils will become creative, independent, and reflective thinkers and effective communicators. Equally important, core moral and ethical values, such as respect, kindness, and integrity, will underpin the educational process. We want our pupils to be generous and supportive, developing a deep commitment to social and environmental action.

Richmond Park School provides a learning environment which is tranquil, but also stimulating. Teachers guide pupils and facilitate their learning, but the pupils themselves often take the lead, thinking, exploring, problem-solving and creating. We believe that if you want to teach, you have to learn and if you want to learn, you also have to teach. 

We are a modern, forward-thinking school and we are committed to develop the digital, communication and thinking skills the pupils will need to be successful in the future. Teaching and learning in Richmond Park School is joyful, surprising, and dynamic.

We are seeking a Secondary English Teacher who can teach English Literature and Language IGCSE and, with training if needed, can teach within the International Baccalaureate which we aim to offer from September 2025.
