Preparatory Teacher

Mowden Hall is an independent co-educational boarding and day school of 220 children from age 3-13 situated in the Northumberland countryside, fifteen miles west of Newcastle. The Pre-Prep and Nursery are based on the same site and share facilities with the Prep School.  The Prep School has a strong boarding ethos with the majority of the children boarding.

Mowden Hall is set in 50 acres of stunning grounds with fabulous views over the Tyne Valley.  The School provides an extremely broad, holistic education with the ethos that education does not start and stop at the classroom door. Whilst we strive for excellence in our academic provision, there is also considerable emphasis on developing the children’s skills and interests, and hence great importance is also attached to the extra-curricular programme.

Children from Mowden Hall go on to a wide range of senior schools including Oundle, Eton, Shrewsbury, Rugby, Sedbergh, Oakham, Ampleforth, Fettes and Queen Margaret’s, as well as the Newcastle day schools.  Multiple scholarships in all disciplines have been achieved in recent years and since September 2007 all children have been successful at 13+ entry to their senior school of choice.

Mowden Hall is a member of the Prep Schools Trust. The Trust provides exciting opportunities for the School in terms of investment and development.  Other members of the Prep Schools Trust are Cothill House, Kitebrook House, Chandlings School, Beeston Hall and Barfield School.

The Role:

We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated, suitably qualified and inspirational teacher to teach children across both the Pre-Prep and Prep School.  The successful candidate will teach a combination of subjects so having experience across a range of areas would be an advantage. An ability to support our vibrant co-curricular and sporting programme would be advantageous too, with the school offering a wide variety of sports and activities to our children.

Mowden Hall is a happy, kind and vibrant school, and a great place to work. To apply, please complete the TES application form, and include a covering letter outlining your motivation for applying. Deadline for applications is Tuesday 15th October 2024 at 12pm. Interviews will take place on Thursday 17th October 2024. 

Please apply early; we reserve the right to close applications when we reach a sufficient level and quantity of candidates.
