Wymondham College Prep School is looking to appoint an excellent teacher who is committed to inspiring children to love learning and to develop children’s personal, social and emotional skills. Whilst not essential, we are particularly interested in candidates who have experience working in Upper Key Stage 2. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work as part of a highly ambitious, driven and nurturing staff team that’s on a mission to create a school that offers something unique to its pupils and wider community.
Our school is committed to the professional development of all staff and provides a safe and supportive environment to work in. We are a learning community who feel safe to make mistakes, learn and grow by loving the struggle of learning. We have a rich and diverse Professional Learning programme for all staff, including coaching in pedagogy. We want everyone to ‘Try Hard, Be Kind, Be You’ and to work in the WCPS way – our values are ‘Wonder, Contribute, Persevere, Support’.
We put relationships, wellbeing and belonging at the heart of everything we do and use restorative justice, zones of regulation and trauma informed strategies to ensure our pupils constantly reflect on their choices, feelings and interactions with each other. We are a state school with the aspiration to do something extra-ordinary, focused on providing a holistic education that develops the ‘whole child’.
Wymondham College Prep School opened in September 2020 with two Reception classes housed in Wymondham College. In September 2021 the school moved into its new purpose-built home on the site of Wymondham College. The school is currently two form entry from Reception - Year 4 and is three form entry in Year 5 with 422 pupils currently on roll. When the school is full, we will be a school of 452 pupils which includes 32 boarders across Year 5 & Year 6. On initial appointment, the successful candidate will be required to complete a six-month probationary period.
