ROLE SUMMARY:

Fulham Pre-Prep is part of Fulham School; an independent, co-educational school for children from Reception upwards. Co-education and celebrating diverse abilities across academic, creative and sporting pursuits are at the heart of all we do.

Our campuses are located in the heart of Fulham and well connected to public transport routes.

We offer a broad education where diverse abilities are recognised, celebrated and given fullest expression; this has been at the core of our ethos since the School was founded. Our curriculum encourages the development of creative, problem-solving individuals with tenacity, kindness and secure self-worth; Fulham has always set out to bring out the best in every pupil and we are committed to continuing this unusually nurturing culture.

We have high expectations at Fulham and this, in turn, encourages our pupils to be involved and inquisitive and to show ambition both in and out of the classroom; this type of confidence, social awareness and open approach to life-long learning is needed to succeed not just in their next academic steps, but in a fast-changing and increasingly challenging world.

The same ambition holds true for our staff team. Being a part of the Inspired network of 100+ schools means that there are always colleagues and connections on hand for advice, inspiration and collaboration. Teachers are expected to play a full role in the pastoral and extracurricular life of the school.

We are looking for a committed, passionate and enthusiastic Deputy Head of Pre Prep to join the school in September 2024. The role will be based at the Pre Prep site. We are developing our facilities and curriculum, so there is a real opportunity to play a role in how our provision takes shape.

Fulham School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. Applicants must be willing to undergo a number of safeguarding checks including an enhanced DBS check, reference checks from previous employers and, where applicable, Barred List and Prohibition checks.
