We are always looking for talented graduates, ECTs and experienced teachers to join our staff. Our friendly and welcoming staff colleagues enjoy teaching highly able, motivated and well-behaved young people.
You can find out more about our Teach at Wilson’s graduate scheme here.
We would be delighted to speak further and indeed for you to visit us so that you can see how fulfilling teaching at Wilson’s can be.
Wilson’s School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The recruitment procedures include an enhanced DBS check, overseas police checks (where relevant), proof of qualifications and employment history references. The appointee’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young persons for whom s/he comes into contact will be to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy at all times.
About Us
Founded in 1615 by Royal Charter, Wilson’s School is a leading boys’ grammar school in Wallington, South London. The Ofsted Outstanding school educates just over 1,300 pupils, with entry by academic selection based on performance in an entrance examination alone.
The school consistently sits at the top of league tables for both GCSE and A Level results and performs much more strongly than the vast majority of independent schools. Almost all go on to study degree courses in a full range of subjects at either Oxbridge or Russell Group universities. At a time of a national narrowing of the curriculum, we are proud of the breadth of ours.
The school, recently rated by The Times as the school of the year (2024), also has a vibrant co-curricular life. Sport and music are of a very high standard, but there is a huge range of activity beyond the classroom from our CCF founded in 1910, to chess and a whole range of smaller societies. We are proud of the diversity of our student and staff body and we have an active Christian Union and PRIDE Club to name but a few.
Key Staff Benefits Include
- Excellent mentoring and pedagogical development – including training graduates so that they have the opportunity to gain QTS without incurring the fees associated with a PGCE.
