• We are seeking a teacher of the highest calibre to teach in either the pre-Nursery class known as Turitots or the Nursery class.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• This 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 boarding, would be desirable, but not essential.  Above all, what matters is commitment to help us provide a world-class education for our children.
• The Prep School is structure along academic lines.  The pupils move from EYFS/Key Stage 1 into Key Stage 2 and finally into Key Stage 3.   

The School

• St Andrew’s School 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 students move from the Prep School to the Senior School, though a small number also go to leading Independent schools in 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.  
• The School is situated on a beautiful 450-acre site on the western slopes of the Rift Valley some 200km NW of Nairobi.  All members of staff are housed on the campus in School accommodation and enjoy significant domestic help.  Near the Equator and at 2600m, the climate is temperate.  It is malaria free.
• Co-curricular provision both within the Prep School and as a Whole School is strong.  At present, the Prep school enjoys an excellent reputation in Kenya, and in particular on the IAPS circuit, for its co-curricular contributions.  Over the past few years, the Prep School has been National Champions in Athletics, Hockey, Football, Netball, Rugby and Rugby 7’s.
• We are also hosts of the IAPS Orchestral Weekend, the major musical event of the schools’ calendar, and have a superb standing in the choral realm.

Beyond the Classroom

• 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 participate 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.
