Prince William School requires a Cover Supervisor to supervise classes for absent teaching staff. When not needed to cover absent colleagues, they may be required to do other tasks such as intervention work with small groups of students withdrawn from a class. The successful candidate will be resilient and resourceful, understand how to manage teenage behaviours, and be able to ‘think on their feet’.
Many staff use the experience of working as a cover supervisor as a stepping-stone into teaching or other related fields of work involving working with young people. Our current cover supervisors all have some ‘timetabled’ lessons for which they take full responsibility and for which they are paid at an unqualified teacher rate, and a willingness to do this would be an advantage.
Experience of working with young people is essential, and experience of working in a school environment is desirable. Experience of leading a class of children is not essential as training will be provided.
Prince William School is located in Oundle, within easy commuting distance of Peterborough, Stamford, Wellingborough, and Corby, and is judged to be ‘Good’ by Ofsted. It is a vibrant and friendly school with enthusiastic, well-behaved students who are eager to achieve the best they can. Our staff are positive and enthusiastic professionals who work together as a whole team, united in our commitment to provide the very best for our students.

Welcome to Prince William School. Rated 'Good' by Ofsted, we are passionate about learning and providing a wide range of experiences for our young people to prepare them for the world beyond school. Our vision is to create an innovative learning environment which has all staff and students learning, developing and delivers the highest of expectations from ourselves and from each other.
At Prince William School we focus upon success. Success for learning. Success in competition. Success in our personal aims. This focus means that we achieve success in many areas including: school results, Duke of Edinburgh Awards, nationally recognised musicians, winning district, county and national sporting events and through being frequent competitors in activities such as the Economics literary papers judged at Eton, and the East Northants “Dragons Den” Competition. We also learn that although we aim to succeed, there are times when we might not. The key is to dust ourselves off and tackle the next challenge with the aim of succeeding next time.
We encourage our young people to ‘Dare to Dream’ through the setting of aspirational targets, recognising success in its many guises, through celebrations and in developing and promoting student leadership to encourage future students to do even better.
Our excellent year teams link the need to support young people through any difficulties and challenges in order to overcome barriers to learning and ensure the core purpose of learning and achievement is not forgotten.
