Graduate Teaching Assistant
We are looking for a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) to join us for an academic year, from September 2025 to July 2026. This would be an ideal opportunity for anyone with an interest in a future career in teaching, looking to gain ground level experience within a school.
The role of the Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) at Princethorpe College is very varied and we try to accommodate the particular skills of each person.

Key skills of each person will be used wherever possible in their related subject. In addition, regular tasks like bus duty, playground supervision, supporting the administrative staff, the supervision of pupils in after school study, and admin-based tasks such as Duke of Edinburgh’s Award or House administration are shared out fairly between all the GTAs.
Flexibility is an important part of the job. Liaising with your line manager over unexpected and significant jobs is a central part of the role. Occasionally there are weekend or evening events which the GTA’s support, for example, Entrance Exam Day, Open Days and Progress Evenings.
