About the School We are a thriving independent preparatory school in central London, educating boys and girls from the age of 2 to 13. Guided by our core values of confidence, curiosity, and kindness, we provide a broad, ambitious, and enriching education that promotes academic excellence, creativity, and outstanding pastoral care. As part of the Brighton College family of schools, widely regarded as the leading co-educational school group in the UK, we benefit from a strong shared ethos while retaining our own distinctive character. In 2025, we were proud to be named London Independent School of the Year finalists, recognising the quality of our educational provision, leadership, and pupil outcomes. Situated beside Exhibition Road in the heart of central London, we make exceptional use of our location to enrich learning, foster cultural engagement, and inspire a lifelong love of reading and language. As an Apple School, we believe in the thoughtful and purposeful use of technology to enhance teaching and learning. Digital tools are used selectively to support drafting, research, creativity, and collaboration; however, we are clear that the pen still reigns supreme, and that fluent handwriting, sustained writing, and deep engagement with texts remain central to our English curriculum. About Cognita Cognita is a global leader in independent education. Founded in 2004, we are a growing community of 90 schools in 21 countries - in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East - serving more than 100,000 students. Each of our schools is proudly unique, however our collective purpose is to create an environment where everyone can, 'Thrive in a rapidly evolving world'. At Cognita, we know every student is unique. We nurture their distinct personalities and strengths. We support them academically, socially, and emotionally, wherever they are in the world, wherever they're starting from. And each and every one of our schools is unique too. We protect what's special about them, while offering them rich knowledge, opportunities, and best practices. And they get to be part of something bigger. We open their classrooms to the collective wisdom of 90 schools in 21 countries, ensuring every child gets an education that's, quite literally, world class. It's an individual approach that empowers every school, teacher and student to focus on what they do best and thrive. About the Role We are seeking an outstanding, dynamic, and inspirational Head of English to provide strategic leadership and oversight of English across the whole school (ages 2-13), while teaching predominantly in Year 5 to Year 8. This is a key middle leadership role with responsibility for ensuring a clear, coherent, and progressive English curriculum, underpinned by strong subject knowledge, high expectations, and excellent pupil outcomes. The successful candidate will demonstrate a secure understanding of curriculum intent, implementation, and impact, and will contribute actively to monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement. The Head of English will be well supported, working collaboratively with: • a Reading Lead, • the Head of Pre-Prep English, and • a designated colleague with responsibility for the Upper School curriculum (Years 7 and 8). As part of a forward looking academic provision, the postholder will play a central role in shaping a strong whole school reading culture, including oversight of the school's libraries and new, purpose built, age appropriate library spaces and reading nooks. Working closely with the Reading Lead, the Head of English will help design, implement, and embed a clear and effective whole school reading strategy. As an Apple School, the Head of English will also be expected to model and promote the effective use of technology where it genuinely enhances learning, while maintaining a clear commitment to traditional academic rigour. The successful candidate will recognise that technology supports excellent teaching but does not replace it, and that the pen remains the primary tool for thinking, drafting, and sustained writing, particularly in preparation for examinations and scholarships. A strong understanding of the 11+ and 13+ senior school entry processes is essential, including preparation for selective examinations and scholarship level assessments. Who We Are Looking For Essential A degree in English. PGCE with English as the specialist subject (or equivalent recognised teaching qualification). Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

Desirable Understanding of, or experience in, KS1 English. Experience of curriculum oversight across multiple age phases. Experience preparing pupils for English scholarships. Experience within an independent or preparatory school setting. Confidence or interest in using technology selectively and purposefully to enhance English teaching and learning. Benefits at Cognita Competitive salary depending upon qualifications and experience. Enrolment in Teachers' Pension Scheme. Free lunch provided during Term Time. School holidays and public holidays. School fee discount. Exclusive third party discounts. Ongoing professional development. The School Offers The opportunity to lead English across the full 2-13 age range within a supportive and well structured leadership model.

Westminster musicians regularly attend the junior departments at the Royal Academy, Royal College and Guildhall, and a good number are members of ensembles such as the National Youth Choirs and Orchestras of Great Britain. Up to fifteen music awards are awarded each year across 13+ and 16+. Academic Music standards are very high and the teaching of Composition is excellent. Facilities The Manoukian Music Centre is fully equipped with Rehearsal/Performing Hall, Recording Studio, classrooms, practice rooms, rehearsal rooms and instrument storage. The Manoukian Centre Recital Hall houses both a Steinway C and a Yamaha C7, and the School Hall houses a Steinway D. Concerts take place annually at Smith Square Hall and at either the Royal Festival Hall or the Barbican. The location of the School allows unrivalled opportunities to attend musical performances on the South Bank and in the West End. Instrumental and Vocal Music Around 30 instrumental and vocal ensembles rehearse each week, including choirs, a symphony orchestra, a concert band, string orchestras, and numerous brass, wind and percussion ensembles and jazz ensembles. Staff A team of 40 visiting teachers provides instrumental and vocal tuition coordinated by Heads of Brass, Piano, Popular Music and Jazz, Singing, Strings and Woodwind, and a School Organist. The teaching staff is supported by an administrative staff of three and by a Sound and Events Technician. There are currently six woodwind teachers within the Woodwind Department, teaching flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, and bassoon. Equal Opportunities We are an equal opportunities employer. We therefore encourage candidates to apply irrespective of age, disability, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion and belief, gender identity, sex or sexual orientation. Safeguarding and Child Protection Westminster School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service. Working at Westminster Westminster School is a busy, purposeful and vibrant place to be and an excellent workplace. The community is made up of around 750 pupils, 120 teaching staff and 108 support staff. Our staff are friendly and welcoming, and all newcomers quickly become part of the rhythm of life here. There is a real sense of community here as, being a boarding school many members of staff and pupils live on site and the School's premises are very much treated as a home away from home. School life starts before breakfast and continues way beyond the working day; as a result, there is always a lively atmosphere in and around School and always someone to share a tea and biscuit with in the Common Room. Support staff as much as teaching staff are encouraged to embrace the School's day to day activities, whether that be attending an evening concert or a morning service in the Abbey. At Westminster we will always select the best candidate for every position. We do know, however, that we can only truly choose the best person on every occasion if a broad and diverse pool of candidates see the job advertised and are encouraged to apply. As such, we continue to work on how our job roles are encountered, and particularly welcome applications from groups who have traditionally been underrepresented here. Westminster School is for everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or any other protected characteristic. We hope you are encouraged to apply. The School Westminster School is an independent day and boarding school for boys aged 13-18 and girls aged 16-18, with a long history, a distinctive ethos, and a unique sense of place in the very heart of London. Pupils achieve exceptional examination results and entrance to some of the top universities in the world. It is a busy, passionate and purposeful place where independent and deep thinking is enjoyed, encouraged and respected by all, and where holistic excellence is nurtured and valued. While the School is one of the foremost centres of academic excellence in the country, its commitment to academic life does not make it a hothouse for passing examinations. Pupils' success at examinations and entry to leading universities is instead a result of their enjoyment of academic enquiry . click apply for full job details
