Head of Classics

The Elms is a wonderful co-educational prep school situated on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border. We are nestled in the foothills of the Malvern Hills in 45 acres of rural tranquillity, in the village of Colwall, which is 10 minutes from Ledbury or Malvern. We have our own working farm, with cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, poultry, and horses, all of which are part of the teaching and learning curriculum.

The Elms was founded in 1614, making us the oldest prep school in England still situated on its original site. We are an IAPS boarding and day school and pride ourselves on achieving excellent results to many Public Schools, both locally and across the UK. Despite being non-selective the school achieves consistently high standards academically.

The role requires to undertake the teaching of Classics (Latin, Classical Civilisation, and Greek) from Year 6 to Year 8, as well as contribute to the wider aspects of a vibrant and busy rural prep school community. This could be on the sports field, with co-curricular activities, or taking on wellbeing roles in school. Having a flexible approach and a can-do attitude towards supporting others are important characteristics for success in the role.
