An incredible opportunity to be part of a unique and brand new type of school. Wildwood Nature School is a charitable, independent, nature-based primary school, committed to offering equal access for all families through free and reduced-fee places. We’re a tiny school of just 19 children aged 4-8 years old. We opened in 2023 and we’ll grow to about 30 children total in 2027 when our oldest children will reach Year 6.
Our ethos is all about supporting children’s well-being. We do this by:
* spending most of the school day outdoors in nature;
* having very high staff ratios;
* following the Forest School principles;
* building a strong, inclusive community;
* championing play and creativity;
* empowering children with a democratic approach.
This role will involve joining our school on Fridays when we offer flexi-schooling. Half of the day is spent at the school and we're outside for half the day on Hampstead Heath or visiting other local green spaces. At Wildwood Nature School we are passionate about learning through play (especially outdoors), and the positive effect it has on children. To join our team you will need to share this passion and be committed to working hard to ensure that the children have the best experience possible every day they are with us.
