Teacher of English for the Prep School

REF:2147240
The school is looking to recruit an outstanding teacher of English to join our Prep School in September 2025.
Job category/type: Teaching Staff
Application closing date: 31/01/2025

Runnymede College is a private non-denominational British school in Madrid offering a British education to boys and girls of all nationalities from the age of two to eighteen. The education offered follows the British National Curriculum.

Founded as a private school in September 1967, the primary school was inaugurated in 1987, and since 1990, the whole School has been located in La Moraleja, in the north of Madrid. The School has been restructured and divided into Pre-Prep, Prep (Years 4 to 8) and Senior School (Years 9 to 13).

Academic levels are high at Runnymede College. In June 2024, 64% of our students achieved A-A* at A level, with 98% of grades being A*-C. This is particularly impressive when compared with the 49% of A*-A grades achieved at independent (private) schools in England this year. In addition, 70% of our pupils gained A*-A grades at IGCSE. Once again, this is a truly excellent achievement when compared with the 60% of A*- A grades at GCSE obtained in the English independent (private) school sector.

In the graduating class of 2024, Top-ranking UK universities welcoming this year’s graduates include St Andrews, Imperial, UCL, LSE, Edinburgh and Bath. Students in the US have already started their higher education at Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, NYU, UPenn and Cornell, amongst other excellent colleges.

A number of our students will be staying in Spain, at top-notch places including ICADE, IE and Navarra; others will continue their education elsewhere in Europe in world-leading institutions in France, Italy and the Netherlands. 3 of our students will be taking a gap year to continue their sporting achievements in golf, football and rowing.

Join a rewarding and exciting learning environment, both within and beyond the classroom. Any candidate should be willing to play an active role in the co-curricular life of the school.

Runnymede College is a private non-denominational British school in Madrid offering a British education to boys and girls of all nationalities from the age of two to eighteen. The education offered follows the British National Curriculum.

Runnymede College was founded by Arthur F Powell and his wife Julia in 1967, in a small house in Calle José Rodríguez Pinilla. The school premises have moved several times before finally settling in its current location on Calle Salvia. In 1987 our Headmaster, Mr Frank Powell, succeeded his father and, with his wife Cristina, founded the Junior School and, since then, have been co-responsible for the School’s expansion, for maintaining Runnymede’s academic excellence and for fostering the alumni pursuit of higher-level education.

The Powell family are proud to be continuing the legacy left by Arthur Powell, ensuring academic excellence and fostering an environment which allows students to reach their potential in all aspects of school life.

In 2023 Runnymede moved from a 2 school structure on one site, to a 3 school structure, replicating the most bespoke and most prestigious schools in the UK. We now have a Pre-Prep School (ages 2-7), a Prep School (ages 8-13) and a Senior School (ages 13-18).

Runnymede Pre-Prep consists of seventeen classes catering for boys and girls from 2-7 years old. It currently caters for 348 children. It is located on the same campus as the Prep School and the Senior School allowing us to take full advantage of the wonderful facilities at Runnymede. The children are taught in classes by their class teacher for the majority of the day, but have specialist teachers for Music, Spanish and PE.

Our core value across the school is Respect, from which all other values precipitate. In the Pre-Prep and Prep Schools we explicitly teach the importance of Respect, Kindness and Curiosity, and these values permeate the ethos of the school.

We are seeking to appoint an experienced Head of Pre-Prep from April 2025 to lead this section of the school after the retirement of the current Headmistress. For the right candidate there is the possibility of an April or September 2025 start date.

The Head of Pre-Prep will be responsible for leading the pastoral provision for Pre-Prep School pupils, including safeguarding the wellbeing and safety of pupils. You will work closely with your dedicated leadership team to tailor a consistent approach to pastoral care for all pupils in the Pre-Prep School.

The successful candidate will report to Ms Powell, Assistant Headmistress.

The main responsibilities and duties:

  • Leadership and Strategy

  • Marketing
  • Staff and Resources

The successful applicant will have:

  • a good honours degree from a British University
  • a PGCE or equivalent qualified teacher status
