This is an exceptional opportunity for a new Teacher of Biology to join a flourishing boarding and day school set on a 100-acre campus in rural Surrey.

The School’s strapline “United by Diversity” provides a backdrop to a department that nurtures scientific insight, objectivity and sensitivity in discussion and intellectual enquiry; we aim to teach how to think, not what to think.

• Inspire and motivate pupils to achieve and develop their full potential.
• Work with the Head of Department to deliver effective, engaging and interesting subject teaching.

• Be responsible for academic tutoring of around 16 pupils with a duty evening in one of the Houses.
• Play a part in co‑curricular and pastoral life of the School, including participation in sports, arts, community and other activities on Saturdays and afternoons.

Full‑time teachers are expected to participate in the co‑curricular and pastoral life of the School according to their skills and aptitude; all staff should expect to participate in some way during the busy weekend programme.

• Substantially reduced school fees at King Edward’s, Barrow Hills and Longacre Schools.
• Free school lunches and on‑site parking.
• Use of the school’s gym and pool facilities.
• Competitive rates of pay.
