Arnold House was founded in 1905 in St John’s Wood. It is an independent preparatory school located in London, NW8, for boys from 3 to 13, and a member of IAPS (Independent Association of Prep Schools). In our recent EQI ISI inspection it was reported that pupils' academic achievement and personal development are both excellent.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, skilful and self-starting PE & Games teacher, who would relish the chance to work in a dynamic department which focuses on the boys developing teamwork and camaraderie, skill acquisition, sportsmanship, fitness and fun. We run a comprehensive fixture list in the major sports (and minor sports too) with matches and tournaments taking place frequently during Games afternoons and the odd weekend. Boys at Arnold House benefit from the use of some of the very best sports facilities, including Canons Park Activity Centre which has space for four football pitches, a 400 metre athletics track and six tennis courts.
We offer a competitive salary and pension, a friendly work environment, generous holidays and free lunches during term time. Our school is known for its family ethos and being a great place to work. We are committed to promoting and protecting the mental and physical health of all our staff.
