Bronte School is an independent preparatory school for children aged 3 to 11. The School’s ethos is based upon the twin pillars of academic excellence and of being a family school. A stimulating and purposeful curriculum is accompanied by high quality academic management, which aims to provide inspiration and challenge for all the children of the school, analysing in detail progress and attainment for each individual child.
Bronte is a small school, of around 150 pupils, in a single class entry, with maximum class size of 20. The teachers are dedicated, professional and caring, and they get to know the children very well. This is a central part of the School’s family atmosphere. Pastoral care is strong, and is seen as fundamental to the children’s success, happiness and sense of self-fulfillment.
The key factor in the successful candidate is that he or she can inspire and develop the children’s best endeavours and can promote and build their education in its fullest sense.
Encompassing the normal range of TA duties, the role is one of support to the teacher and teaching and guidance to individual children and groups within the class. A small number of lessons (either one or two per week) are usually taught by the TA, following preparation with the teacher. Some additional school supervisory duties are also undertaken.
Applications will be welcome both from qualified or experienced practitioners and from those who are looking to gain experience and to work towards qualifications in a stimulating, supportive and professional environment. What is vital is a genuine interest in children and in their learning, development, safety and welfare: in other words, in their education in its fullest sense.
The annual salary is in the range £15,271pa to £26,927pa depending upon qualifications and experience. Normal working hours are full time, 8am – 4pm, term time only. The School’s pension scheme is available.
