The Opportunity:
We are currently seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher of Spanish and French to teach Prep and Middle Years.

Results-Driven: Westbourne Penarth is known for its results-driven approach, and we consistently achieve top rankings in league tables. Join a school with a strong tradition of academic excellence and a commitment to achieving the very highest of goals.
Single accommodation including utilities and meals during term time may be available in return for boarding duties, however living in residence is not a requirement of the role.

If you are passionate about teaching and believe you have the qualifications and dedication we are looking for, we encourage you to apply. Please submit an application form and a letter of application by the application deadline of midday Friday 10th May 2024. CVs may also be submitted, but not in place of a completed application form.

Westbourne School History
Westbourne School was opened in 1895 at Ebenezer House in Westbourne Road. The present school dates its founding from 1896 when Miss Caroline Ferris became headmistress and named it: 'Westbourne House Preparatory School for Boys'. In 1901 the school moved to 13 Stanwell Road.
The adjoining building, 4 Hickman Road, was purchased in 1975 and the two buildings developed into Westbourne Senior School. Developments since 1975 have seen the school open a college for years 9-11, the acquisition of St. Alma's Girls' school at Victoria Road, after which the school became co-educational. The Victoria Road site now houses Westbourne Nursery and Junior school. Continuing improvements and the broadening of the school curriculum have seen an increase in pupil and staff numbers. Recent re-organisation in the school has led to a unification of identity into one school and the school continues to flourish, building on and adding to the achievements of the past
