Job description

About the School - Breaside
Breaside Preparatory is an independent school for children aged 2.5-11 years that is committed to achieving the very best for each individual child from Nursery through to preparation for secondary transfer at the end of Year 6. The school is housed in an imaginatively modernised and extended site in Bromley, Kent, and teaching is provided through small classes.

In 2023, Breaside underwent significant expansion with the opening of a new site on Widmore Road, conveniently located just a short walk from the Orchard Road site. This expansion has enabled the school to welcome many more pupils into the community, from Pre-Prep to Year 6.

The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Teacher of Music to join our fantastic team working Part Time (Wednesday PM and Friday PM).
