    Description

    FULL TIME ROLE, BASED AT NURSERY SITE (SOME HOME WORKING PERMITTED)

    Accountable to: Headteacher of The Children's House, Ellie Grunewald

    THE SCHOOL

    The Children's House was set up in 1973 by a group of local parents, originally to provide high-quality early years education in Islington. Our Nursery is in Elmore Street, Islington and caters for children ranging in age from 21⁄2 to 4, whilst the Upper School, a short distance away in King Henry's Walk, Islington currently offers Reception to Year 4 and is expanding to a full prep school in the coming years.

    The school's focus is on families and children, with a strong emphasis on pastoral care. Classes are small, and the school community is warm and friendly, with supportive parents and plenty of opportunities for teachers to get involved in whole school events.

    Learning is individualised, with high teacher child ratios and importance placed on creativity. Whilst we are non-selective, pupils do very well academically and are prepared for the 11+. Whilst all of our classrooms are equipped with Chromebooks, iPads and interactive boards, traditional skills such as reading, handwriting and phonics, are valued

    This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
