Graduate Teacher Experience Pathway (GTEP)

Cranleigh School have an exciting opportunity for two graduates to join our Graduate Teacher Experience Pathway (GTEP) on a two year fixed term contract starting in September 2025.

Cranleigh is a leading, fully co-educational independent boarding and day Senior School consisting of around 700 girls and boys of 13–18 years. There is also a Preparatory School in close proximity.

Cranleigh aspires to be a beacon of excellence in learning and teaching and is committed to the continuing professional development of all employees.

Cranleigh School is leading an initiative to address the lack of diversity amongst teaching staff, with a new Graduate Trainee scheme that targets under-represented communities.

The Graduate Teacher Experience Pathway is a two-year graduate recruitment scheme aimed at supporting applicants from all backgrounds. It will upskill highly qualified staff in Year 1 to be able to fulfil wider aspects of a boarding school graduate assistant teacher role in Year 2 and equip them to apply for future roles.

Alongside accommodation, term-time meals and a competitive starting salary, it offers mentorship, support and training specific to working within a boarding environment.

We welcome applications from Graduates in the following subjects:

• Business Studies
• Chemistry
• Classics
• Design Engineering
• Drama
• Economics
• Geography
• Mathematics
• Physical Education
• Physics

We aim to recruit good honours graduates who will be able to enthuse and engage pupils across different year groups and have a sound grounding in their chosen subject area. Successful candidates will be good-humoured, have excellent communication skills, show a willingness to contribute in other ways to the life of a busy boarding school and will thrive in a team environment.

Please read our ‘GTEP Recruitment Pack’ to be found on our website, to gain more information about the scheme and the ethos to which it is expected that the successful candidate will contribute.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss any aspect of the scheme informally, please get in touch with Kate Bartholomew by email in the first instance: recruiting@cranleigh.org.
