Located in Sandhurst, Berkshire, and set within the grounds of Wellington College, Wellington College Prep offers a vibrant and nurturing environment for pupils and staff.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a thriving Prep School where Science plays an important role in developing pupils’ curiosity, confidence and enjoyment of learning.
