Windlesham House School is one of the country’s leading independent prep schools, set in a beautiful 65 acre country estate on the South Downs. The oldest prep school in the country (est. 1837), Windlesham House has always led the way in embracing the new.
We are looking to recruit a well-qualified, dynamic and enthusiastic science teacher to provide maternity cover for one year.
Windlesham House School is fortunate to have a large science department made up of four specialist teachers and is housed in a modern building comprising four fully equipped laboratories and two preparation and storage rooms with the support of a part-time laboratory technician.
From Year 3, science is taught as a discrete subject by a specialist teacher in the department and the pupils in Years 7 & 8 work within our bespoke Windlesham Diploma syllabus. There is a strong emphasis on practical and investigative science and it is a popular subject throughout the school.
Our school mission is to provide a stimulating, nurturing and safe environment where pupils are happy and develop into confident, independent learners who embrace a challenge, gain a lifelong love of learning, are prepared to take risks and have kind and generous hearts.
Windlesham House teachers provide educational excellence through the provision of effective and inspiring teaching, encourage enthusiasm for learning and enable each pupil to achieve their potential. They will encourage pupils to be self-confident, self-motivated and self-disciplined within a safe, nurturing and caring community.
If you feel you are the right person for this role and can contribute to our values and aims as well as being part of a vibrant community, we would love to hear from you.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants must be willing to undergo appropriate child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure & Barring Service.

Windlesham House is a distinctive school where tradition meets innovation, providing opportunities for your children to be creative, courageous and successful.
As the oldest prep school in the country (est 1837) and the first prep school to become co-educational (1967), we have always led the way in embracing the new.
We are progressive and innovative in our ethos and approach while embracing our traditions and rich history. Focussing on the wellbeing of every child, each benefits from a first class and distinctive education full of exciting opportunities and experiences in the glorious South Downs; the grounds are alive with children building dens, climbing trees, playing golf and collecting chicken eggs.
Our outstanding world languages programme and sport academies have earned us recognition across all aspects of the education we offer and provide exciting opportunities for girls and boys aged 4-13. We are delighted to be laying the foundations for the future with our Green Plan and innovative leadership Diploma and Futures Programme for Years 7 & 8. Recently a prospective parent said, “This school is world class.”
