The Role
We are seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Teaching Assistant to join our Pre-Prep team, supporting the classroom teacher, staff and Head of Pre-Prep in providing high-quality education to children aged 4–7 and ensuring the Pilgrims’ values are fulfilled. This is a full-time position, but we would consider a job-share arrangement.
You will play a key role in helping to create a positive, curious, and engaging learning environment, assisting in the delivery of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 curricula. Initially, this role will be based in the Year 1 classroom, contributing to the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of the children.
The School
The Pilgrims’ School is a leading, selective day and boarding boys’ prep and double choir school in a beautiful and historic ‘city meets country’ setting in Winchester. It is a vibrant, lively school where boys aged 4 to 13 are encouraged to find their passions and nurture them, whether that be in the classroom, science lab, music room, art room, sports fields, at Forest School or beyond.
Nestled between Winchester Cathedral, Winchester College, and Wolvesey Palace, the School occupies a superb site in the historic Cathedral Close. We enjoy the use of the picturesque Wolvesey playing fields and the sporting facilities of Winchester College. With our choral foundations, the School encourages musical achievements in all its pupils but also excels in academic endeavours, sport and the arts. We enjoy an enviable local and national reputation.
