ROLE SUMMARY:

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and well-educated person who has had experience of working with young children and works with equal efficacy independently and as part of a team.

Pembridge Hall is undergoing a dynamic period of development in which innovative thinking is encouraged and every teacher’s contribution is valued. 

Pembridge Hall is an independent girls’ preparatory school (ages 4 – 11) of 460 girls set in a tranquil residential square in Notting Hill. Pembridge prepares its pupils for many of the top day and boarding senior schools in the country and therefore works at a level significantly above National Curriculum expectations.

The protection of our students’ welfare is the responsibility of all staff within Inspired schools and individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a way that reflects the principles of our organisation. All members of staff must have an enhanced DBS and prohibition order clearance and pre-appointment safeguarding checks will be undertaken before any candidate is confirmed in post. Staff will be aware of and follow the safeguarding, Prevent Duty, anti-bullying and behaviour and discipline policies of the school, and partake in training on safeguarding, prevent duty and personal welfare.

Teaching is likely to be timetabled over one day per week during the school term and will involve providing individual music lessons to pupils, including encouragement of performance opportunities and participation in ensembles.

The successful applicant will be suitably qualified to teach and motivate pupils of all levels. This is an opportunity to be part of a busy and vibrant Music Department. All staff share the responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils, in accordance with the School’s Safeguarding policies.

The Music Department runs an extremely full programme of extracurricular activities, some in collaboration with the Drama Department.
