Hi
I have applied for a teaching position in a prep school, and as I have very little experience of the private sector, I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice please?
From trawling the internet, I have found that:
You have more freedom with curriculum, but more parental pressures
Lots of people love it, some don't
Pay could be more or less than maintained schools
There may or may not be housing included
There may or may not be a fee reduction for your own children
You work very long hours but have longer holidays
I don't yet have any information other than the job advertisement and the school website. I understand that each school is very different, but I'd really appreciate anyone's experience so I can mull it all over. Oddly, the internet isn't full of anecdotal staff tales! Thanks in advance.
