KS2 Class Teacher

ROLE SUMMARY:

St Anthony’s is a Catholic Preparatory School (IAPS) for boys aged 2.5 – 13. It is Roman Catholic but welcomes boys of other faiths. The majority of boys transfer to leading Independent schools. At St Anthony's we pride ourselves in having very high standards of ourselves and our pupils, and believe that stretch and challenge are essential ingredients to real academic success.

The school opened a nursery in September 2023 which has proved to be extremely popular. St Anthony’s has a strong presence in Hampstead, and increasingly beyond, with a reputation for very high-quality teaching and learning as well as sporting, musical and artistic prowess.

St Anthony’s School for Boys seeks to appoint a well-qualified and inspirational Class Teacher for KS2. The successful candidate will be able to teach the primary curriculum to a high standard; a specialism in Maths and/or Science would be welcome as would the capacity to offer a subject specialism up to and including Year 8 (or KS3). The school is not super-selective but academic outcomes are outstanding with significant numbers of  boys securing places at competitive London day and country boarding schools. The school’s ethos is warm and welcoming with staff and boys striving for excellence in all that we do.

Immediate applications are encouraged and, if the right candidate is presented, an appointment can be made before term’s end on Friday 27th March 2026.
