St Hugh's is a highly regarded coeducational day and boarding school. We are situated on a beautiful green campus of 65 acres in the South Oxfordshire countryside, only 25 minutes from Central Oxford. Our Senior School opened in September 2026. It is a very exciting time to be joining St Hugh's.

The role is initially offered on a fixed-term basis until the end of this academic year. However, there is potential for a permanent contract for the successful candidate. The hours will be reviewed over the coming months, and there may be opportunities to increase working hours within the Prep School as the Senior School continues to grow.

St Hugh's staff are an outstanding, hard-working and collaborative team who aim to give all our children academic and pastoral excellence in a nurturing environment with wide ranging facilities. Each child is, therefore, able to discover what they are good at, thrive and gain confidence in themselves

We offer excellent benefits, including a competitive salary on our own salary scale with scope for progression, an outstanding working environment in our beautiful estate with easy access to transport links and being part of our vibrant and supportive community. We offer free car parking, free meals, a discount on School fees and the use of our sporting and gym facilities.
