Upper Key Stage 2 English Specialist

Bute House Prep School is looking for a suitably qualified professional to join us as an Upper School English Teacher with responsibility for teaching English to Year 5 in the first instance. This would involve inspiring enthusiastic learners through our dynamic curriculum and strong commitment to our Learning Powers. We are seeking a passionate educator who can nurture curiosity, creativity, and high achievement while celebrating each girl’s individuality. If you value collaboration, community, and empowering pupils to thrive, we would love to hear from you.

Bute House is a dynamic, exciting, rounded and rigorous environment in which girls flourish and thrive and, most importantly, have a great deal of fun. We wrap this up in a pastoral blanket of care and support; these children are being educated to work in a world which, in some ways, we cannot imagine yet.

The non-competitive academic ethos at Bute House is unique and is something of which we are very proud. This ethos, combined with our educational aims, commitment to diversity and inclusion, as well as our pastoral care, come together to create the very special atmosphere here.

At Bute House we have a long tradition of forward-looking, child-centred educational philosophy. We believe that children learn best when they feel confident, supported, liked and respected as individuals, and when their areas of both talent and challenge are recognised and acknowledged by the adults around them.

Bute House is committed to equality of opportunity for all members of our community. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
