Teacher of Early Years PE

Wuxi Dipont School of Arts and Science (in partnership with King's College School, Wimbledon and Nanjing Foreign Language School) is seeking to appoint a Teacher of Early Years PE to join a learning community that integrates the best of international and Chinese education for an August 2025 start.

"If you have energy, drive and want to be part of something really dynamic, this is a school you will really enjoy. We all learn by doing, both students and staff alike. Our teaching teams are always working on something new and exciting, collaborating to improve what we have and start new initiatives. I feel extremely proud of the team’s commitment and activity and the amount of laughter heard along the way. There is always something exciting going on and it is always entertaining. What we learn with pleasure, we never forget!"

Amy Loveday-Hu, Head of Kindergarten
 

The kindergarten offers an open, fluid learning environment where lessons and activities are held both inside and outside of the classroom. It is a vibrant and exciting space for young learners.

Classes operate in pairs for each age group with each staffed by one Chinese teacher and one international teacher with additional assistant support. This allows the teachers to support each other in planning, delivery of the curriculum and the development of each child’s English and Chinese language skills.

The open-plan design of the kindergarten allows a fluidity in delivery that is essential in an excellent early years programme. The open plan nature of the building not only supports flexible and progressive learning but also fosters a sense of real belonging to the whole kindergarten. The outdoor environment at the kindergarten is as exciting as inside. Children are encouraged to have a sense of adventure, an inquisitive mind and a pair of Wellington boots, as they play, explore and collaborate utilising every inch and shaping the space within which they learn.
