We are looking for an inspirational, experienced Reception teacher with commitment and passion to join Benedict House Prep School in Sidcup, Kent from September 2012.

About Us:
Benedict House is a family-based, co-educational preparatory school with an outstanding reputation, which places the careful, nurturing and rounded education of the children in our care at its core. We encourage impressive results from happy children for a fee, which we strive to keep accessible to many. We will always remain true to this philosophy whilst striving to constantly improve what we deliver.

This year, we were confirmed as achieving the best 11+ results of any school in the Borough and our results at KS2 are similarly consistently excellent. Interest and applications to our school are impressively high. Constantly looking for ways to improve the learning and learning environment for the school, Benedict House forms part of the Alpha Schools Group, which includes Crown House, High Wycombe; Griffin House, Little Kimble; Haddon Dene, Broadstairs; and St Martin's, Grimsby. All of our schools have an outstanding reputation and often feature very highly in league tables for Best Preps in the UK.

What We're Looking For:
You will help drive our school into the future, promoting our caring ethos and outstanding results by discovering the right way for each child in your care to reach their potential. You will be vital to exciting and inspiring children in our Reception Class, ensuring they love arriving at school and are happy learners.

The key quality we are searching for is the 'wow factor' in the classroom - can you grab the attention of the whole class and keep it whilst delivering outstanding teaching to each child? Are you prepared to think carefully about how to enhance your lessons, your classroom, and your pastoral care? Do you have the passion to 'roll-up your sleeves' and 'get stuck-in' in every aspect of our small school? If you do, we'd like to talk to you.
