Director of Curriculum (Prep)
Required: September 2025
Closing Date: Sunday 16th March 2025
Brentwood Prep School is an academically selective HMC co-educational independent school with small class sizes and a happy, ambitious and supportive staff team. It is part of Brentwood School, a 3-18 HMC school of 1900 pupils, just 35 minutes from London Liverpool Street.
The Prep School became an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) candidate school in May 2024 and staff have begun an exciting journey of developing our curriculum and pedagogy. All new staff who join the school are supported through IB led training as well as in-house training and we enjoy collaborating across teams in order to deliver a truly world class education. Having a background in the PYP approach is not essential as we have a culture of learning together and recognise the different experiences staff bring from both the state and independent sectors. We welcome applications from all sectors of the community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake.
We are seeking to appoint a Director of Curriculum (Prep). This is an exciting new role at the Prep School which will sit on the Prep Leadership Team, line managed by the Deputy Head Academic (Prep). A strong understanding of curriculum design and change implementation is important for this role. Staff at the Prep school enjoy being in regular dialogue about teaching practices and curriculum design. We plan collaboratively in order to continue our own professional learning and to bring about the best education possible for the pupils.
The role of Director of Curriculum is responsible for overseeing the Prep School curriculum along with the Director of EYFS. The Director of Curriculum ensures the curriculum is aligned with the school’s mission, meets the needs of pupils at different developmental levels, and is delivered effectively by teachers. This role requires continual collaboration with a range of staff to refine planning methods, and, alongside the Director of Timetable and Assessment analyses pupil data to evaluate pupil progress.
