Job description

Brentwood Preparatory School is a large, academically selective IAPS school with outstanding facilities, small class sizes and a happy and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of over 1900 pupils, just 20 minutes from London Liverpool Street.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a dynamic, driven and innovative individual to join this high performing and superbly resourced Preparatory School. We are the largest tied house Prep School in the country and we pride ourselves on knowing and delivering an outstanding all-round education to every child.

Sport is an integral part of life at Brentwood and we are looking to appoint a passionate and dynamic Teacher of PE (Prep) who can provide excellent learning in all aspects of sporting provision across the Prep School (3-11), as well as promoting high standards of teaching and learning in the practice of others. All PE colleagues lead on aspects of the curriculum and co-curricular provision. Depending on the experience and skills of individuals there is scope to lead on the core PE curriculum as well as the development of particular sports through the Games and fixtures programme. We are keenly developing our provision right from Foundation to Year 6 with a focus on fundamental movement skills and for the right role holder there is the opportunity to take a lead in this area. 

The Prep Sports Department consists of 3 teachers (including the Director of Sport (Prep), a full time Sports Assistant, a full time Graduate Assistant in Sport, coaches deployed by the Director of Sport (Prep), and a high number of PE Teachers from the Senior School who deliver PE and Games sessions. We follow a continual cycle of improvement, being proactive in finding ways we can develop our approach and skills in order to harness the very best from all of our colleagues. 

Brentwood School ethos

We embody our values of virtue, learning and manners just as those before us have been doing since 1557. We are proud of our modern inclusive community which is shaped by our Christian Foundation. Our pupils are confident without being arrogant, they look out for each other, they do the right thing, even when no-one is looking and they respect difference: you will see a footballer enjoying lunch with a chorister and a dance captain running a recycling project with a young chess enthusiast.

We help our pupils to solve problems. In partnership with parents, we teach them to persevere after setbacks, adopt a growth mindset, and challenge the norm. We encourage them to ask questions in class and take control of their own learning. Of course, they work hard and enjoy great success in and out of the classroom, and once they’ve left us, many go on to use and develop their leadership skills and achieve beyond their expectations, always remembering what Brentwood has taught them.

That’s who we are. We are Brentwood.

Staff across both the Prep and Senior School enjoy a bespoke collaborative approach to professional development. We believe in being a research engaged school, with those that facilitate our in-house research programme being trained by the Institute of Education.We support many of our staff in obtaining external accreditation across a range of fields and are engaged with a number of national and international organisations. We are a highly supportive school that values the contributions made by a motivated and intellectually curious staff. There are a range of ways that we enhance our staff experience; free gym membership, benefits hub, free lunch, free tickets to school concerts and performance to name but a few. Brentwood School has its own pay scale that is significantly above the maintained sector and we also have a range of subsidised staff accommodation that may be available for the successful applicant should they need to relocate. 

Applicants who do not have a TES account should visit our website and download an  application form or email: [email protected] All Brentwood School vacancies can be found on the School’s website . The School reserves the right to change these dates, and to close the vacancy at any time.

Brentwood School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
