Teaching Assistant
Junior Department • Term time only
King’s House School was founded in Richmond in 1946 and has been a boys’ prep school since then until September 2024, when girls joined Reception and Year 1 for the first time as we move to co-education. Girls will also be joining our Senior Department from September 2025.
The school operates on three sites in or around Kings Road, which is on the very pleasant setting of Richmond Hill. The Senior Department (for pupils from Year 4 to Year 8) is at 68 Kings Road, the Junior Department on its own site just down the hill, and the Nursery around the corner on Princes Road.
The school also has a 35-acre sports ground just over Barnes Bridge, where there are numerous pitches, athletics facilities, cricket nets, tennis courts, two 3G pitches and all-weather pitch.
The overall role of the Teaching Assistant at King’s House School is to provide the pupils within the school with the support they need to promote their learning and well-being, whilst being constantly mindful of their pastoral and safeguarding needs.
