Key Stage 2 Teacher
Part Time
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, inspiring, committed and well qualified Key Stage 2 Teacher to join the Prep department at Saint Felix School.
The successful candidate should be able to teach a broad range of subjects across Key stage 2 to the whole age and ability range. The post holder will also take part in the future development of school both within the curriculum and the extra-curricular programme.
Saint Felix School is an independent co-educational day and boarding school for students aged from 2 to 18, located close to the glorious seaside town of Southwold on the Suffolk coast. Our aim is to develop well-rounded students with the skills and the personality to make a success of their lives during and after their school years.
Academic excellence is central to life at Saint Felix School and we encourage all pupils to aspire to the highest possible standards and to exceed their expectations. Our success is demonstrated by impressive examination results at GCSE and A Level where the value-added scores are significant. The vast majority of our leavers go on to Higher Education.
The school adopts a non-selective entry policy which seeks to provide an environment where all pupils will thrive academically. We believe in a holistic education that exposes pupils to a wide range of experiences and opportunities with our new co-curricular programme providing extensive opportunities for students to find their areas of passion. We also aim to attract pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds.
At Saint Felix we place great emphasis on the value of Sport, Music, Drama and the Arts for the teamwork, self-motivation and discipline they instil, and encourage pupils to explore their individual talents. Boarding is at the heart of the school; members of staff are encouraged to contribute to the wider life of the school through involvement in the new mentoring system and in the co-curricular programme outside the classroom.

- Deliver exciting and inspiring lessons across KS2 within the Prep school.
- Have high expectations of pupils’ attainment, progress and behaviour.
