Job description

Job Description Purpose of Role

We are looking for British-qualified and experienced teachers for our Middle Primary Phase; we use the term 'Middle Primary' to refer to KS3. Our teachers have formed a strong team, demonstrating flexibility, creativity and flair; we need new members who are every bit as willing to play a full part in helping to develop the ethos, character and structures of an ambitious, values-based school. We have a clear philosophy of education centred on our Walk of the Lion which values Respect, Courage, Cooperation, Consideration and Nobility. Our teachers are hard-working and passionate about education. They set high expectations with regards to the progress of all pupils and are effective and supportive members of the whole school team.

The historical Royal Wilanow overlooks new, stylish cafes and shops as well as leafy green fields and woods. BSW opened in Autumn 2014, in a purpose-built accommodation on a charming greenfield site, with a handful of Nursery-age children. Numbers for 25/26 have grown to over 400 pupils and there are waiting lists in most year groups. We are strongly committed to the highest standards of education. BSW successfully completed COBIS Patron's Accreditation in November 2021. BSW joined the International Schools Partnership in 2023.
