Reading is a priority, with all boys having a weekly Library lesson in and maintaining a reading record between home and school.
Boys are motivated by earning Golden Boy awards and Badges and Bars for industry, contribution and courtesy. These awards are much coveted and support their motivation and enthusiasm for becoming excellent all-round Arnold House pupils.
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.

Head of Modern Foreign Languages
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.
The MFL Department at Arnold House consists of a team of two, with both teachers currently focusing on French. Boys have the opportunity to learn a variety of foreign languages in the Pre-Prep on a carousel basis, with formal French lessons beginning in Year 1. The aims are to foster an enjoyment in learning a foreign language and for boys to see the relevance of this in the world today. We focus on teaching good language learning skills and allowing boys to see that key concepts are transferable to other languages. At the start of Year 8 boys go on an immersive trip to Burgundy for a week, where they speak French and are introduced to French culture.
We are currently undergoing a review of the curriculum and although French will remain the backbone of MFL teaching, we wish to expand the range of languages we offer, perhaps as clubs or on a carousel basis. Boys experience taster sessions of other languages in the lower part of the school, which thus far have included Greek and Mandarin.
Class sizes are small, with no more than 20 boys in each, and they are highly motivated and enthuiastic.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher to lead the Modern Foreign Languages Department across the school, from Pre-Reception to Year 8 and to teach French to boys from Year 1 to 8, up to scholarship level.
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.
