The School
Churcher’s College is an Independent
coeducational day school offering
Nursery, Junior, Senior and Sixth Form
education. With 1055 pupils in the
Senior School and 285 pupils in the
Junior School (excluding the Nursery)
of approximately equal numbers of
boys and girls, Churcher’s College
enjoys recognition as one of the
most accomplished independent,
coeducational day schools in the country.

The school is hosted on two campus sites
in Hampshire enabling the Junior School
and Nursery pupils to flourish in their
own beautiful grounds in Liphook, whilst
maintaining close links to the Senior
School and Sixth Form located in nearby
Petersfield.    Both sites offer on-site
playing fields and unrivalled facilities,
providing the comfort and opportunities
of an open, healthy environment.

Churcher’s College offers the widest
range of experiences and the opportunity
to be the best. The school has received
independent acknowledgement for
its academic success, creative arts,
performing arts, adventurous activities
and sporting achievements.   Churcher’s
is an inclusive school where parents,
children, staff and friends all contribute
to the rich and broad education provided.
We aim to nurture children into educated,
informed, socially responsible and
respectful citizens ready to succeed in
life.

Teaching at Churcher’s College
We provide an excellent education for
all pupils based upon traditional values

and academic standards, personal
discipline and the development of self-
confidence.  This is accomplished within
a caring environment and a positive
balance between academic studies and
enterprise and adventure outside the
classroom.

A dynamic and innovative place to work,
Churcher’s College is academically strong
[2025: A Level - 24% A*, 62% A* and A, 91%
A* to B; GCSE – 28% Grade 9, 51% Grades
9 & 8, 74% Grades 9 to 7] and previously
has been recognised as a ‘Top 100
Independent School’ by A Level results
and winner of the ‘A Level Award for
the South of England 2017’ at the British
Education Awards.

Beyond the classroom we offer a
vibrant and extensive extra-curricular
programme. With over 35 sports teams
representing the school a term and
unbeaten seasons, sport has strength in
numbers and ability. Music and drama
flourish with many pupils taking music
lessons, numerous accomplished
ensembles, and regular highly reviewed
and varied student drama productions
ranging from A Christmas Carol to Miss
Saigon.  Getting outdoors with our
adventure programme is very popular;
CCF, Duke of Edinburgh, plus First and
World Challenge expeditions offer
exciting opportunities to staff as well as
pupils.

Our Teachers
Our teachers are gifted individuals who
are able to inspire pupils with their
enthusiasm and subject knowledge. They
are committed to high quality teaching

and participate in the extra-curricular
programme. Most are graduates with
postgraduate certificates. Those
without PGCEs are supported to gain the
qualifications soon after appointment.
Training and professional development
programmes are established, and we are
experienced in managing ECT Teachers.
Our staff are both ECTs and experienced
teachers; providing a stimulating and
rewarding environment. Staff children
enjoy a significant reduction in fees.
Single local accommodation may be
available.

The Business Department
We are looking to appoint a Business
Teacher from September. This could suit
an experienced teacher but could also be
appropriate for an ECT. We aim to create
a culture of passion and enthusiasm for
our subject within the classroom and
to develop a wider appreciation of its
relevance and importance to everyday
life. The subject consistently attracts
large numbers of Sixth Form students
who perform highly at A Level, alongside
a growing number at GCSE (which was
introduced in 2020). A Level results in
2025 were 42% at A* and 71% at A* - A.

We follow the Edexcel course for
Business at both A Level and GCSE.
Business shares an office with the
Economics department. Business
is part of the Humanities Faculty
comprising Geography, History, Religion
& Philosophy, Politics, Psychology,
Economics and Classics. It is a cohesive
Faculty with a happy and professional
ethos. The Business Department runs
a number of extra-curricular activities.

towards a fully immersive culture of
inclusion, diversity and equality.
