Job Advert
Uppingham School is a co-educational, full boarding school serving 840 pupils aged 13-18. The teaching staff number 120. Teachers are supported by professional services departments responsible for grounds and gardens, commercial enterprises, marketing, business development, human resources, IT, finance, health and safety, health care, operational services, and estates.
Uppingham School has the highest ambitions. We aim to be the School of first choice in the UK and believe that our holistic educational philosophy encapsulates what twenty-first century education ought to be.
Our teachers seek to inspire and challenge our pupils’ desire and curiosity to work at the highest academic levels. Pupil welfare is at the heart of the School’s purpose, and all teachers take responsibility for the effective operation of pastoral systems designed to ensure we provide the very best pastoral care for our pupils. We are proud that our pupils’ co-curricular experience sits at the centre of their education and teaching staff wholeheartedly participate in the programme.
The foundation for pupils’ welfare lies in our fifteen boarding houses. Every house is led by a housemaster or housemistress (HsM), each of whom has a residential deputy, as well as two matrons who work throughout the school day. Most teachers are tutors in one of the houses. Pupils eat lunch in their houses – a valued Uppingham social occasion – with staff attending as guests each day.
We are fortunate to have wonderful facilities and fantastic highly committed teachers who nurture and support Uppinghamians at every stage of their school career.
