Key Stage 2 Teacher

Are you ready to inspire a new generation of thinkers and creators?  At St Andrew's School, Turi we are on the lookout for a passionate Key Stage 2 Teacher who is eager to make learning an unforgettable adventure!

Imagine leading a classroom where pupils explore, question and discover the world around them.  With your creativity and enthusiasm, you will empower our young learners to unlock their potential, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of knowledge.

Join us in creating a vibrant learning community!

  • We are seeking a teacher of the highest calibre to teach a class in KS2, preferably someone with Year 4 experience or the passion and skills to teach at a new year level.  This is a demanding position, teaching predominantly staff children.  The successful applicant will be responsible to the Assistant Head Primary and the Deputy Head Academic.  Their chief responsibility will be to promote the highest possible standards of teaching and learning, and pastoral care following the British Curriculum.
  • St Andrew's Turi will offer the successful applicant an exciting and dynamic working environment, personal mentoring and leadership development, happy and enthusiastic pupils who enjoy learning, suitable accommodation onsite, and a strong sense of community.
  • It is essential that the appointee is a committed Christian who supports the School's Christian character and ethos.  We look to recruit committed and resourceful staff, who are looking to not only develop their skills and leadership capacities, but also embrace new experiences and challenges.
  • They will have to have a good degree as well as a recognised teaching qualification, such as PGCE or Primary Education Degree with QTS, and of course, the relevant experience.
  • Beyond that we want to have staff who love working as part of a team, who are first-class communicators and who are passionate about the subjects and pupils they teach; who are creative and diligent in their planning; who are adaptable, energetic and resilient.
  • The post would suit someone looking for a new challenge, wanting to develop their areas of responsibility as well as leadership skills.
  • Experience of working in a Prep School, or in a boarding, would be desirable, but not essential.  Above all, what matters is a commitment to help us provide a world-class education for our children. 
  • The Prep School is structured along academic lines.  The pupils move from EYFS/Key Stage 1 into Key Stage 2, and finally into Key Stage 3.  
  • The successful candidate would be expected to contribute to the co-curricular and pastoral life of the School.  This includes activities in the evenings and on weekends. 
  • All staff participate in the School's extensive co-curricular activity programme as well as in the boarding houses.  All talents are most welcome and the School has a strong reputation for the standard and participation in its sport and music as well as other co-curricular areas.
  • Because of our natural environment, applicants with Outdoor Education experience and qualifications would also be welcome.

The School

  • St Andrew's Turi is one of the most prominent international schools in Kenya and has an outstanding reputation throughout Africa.  Founded as a Preparatory School for the children of expatriates in 1931, it has grown to comprise both Preparatory and Senior Schools and to welcome children of over 25 nationalities, the majority of whom are now African.
  • The School is a vibrant, demanding and supportive community which encourages pupils and staff to seek their highest at all times. 
  • It is fully coeducational and boarding, teaches the British curriculum and sends pupils to universities in the UK, America, Australia and many other parts of the world.  Specifically at the Prep School, the British curriculum is taught from EYFS to Year 8.  The majority of the students move from the Prep School to the Senior School, though a small number also go on to leading Independent schools in the UK and South Africa.
  • St Andrew's has a strong Christian foundation and ethos, which define and govern the nature and work of the School today.  While children from all faith backgrounds are welcome, the School's Christian character is clearly evident in its underlying educational philosophy and practice.
