Prohibition from teaching, prohibition from management and disqualification from providing childcare The School is not permitted to employ anyone to carry out 'teaching work' if they are prohibited from doing so. For these purposes 'teaching work' includes:

• planning and preparing lessons and courses for pupils;
• delivering lessons to pupils;
• assessing the development, progress and attainment of pupils;
• reporting on the development, progress and attainment of pupils.

The above activities do not amount to 'teaching work' if they are supervised by a qualified teacher or other person nominated by the Head.

The School is also not permitted to employ anyone to work in a management position if they are prohibited from being involved in the management of an independent school. This applies to the following positions at the School:

• Head;
• teaching posts on the senior leadership team;
• teaching posts which carry a departmental head role;
• support staff posts on the senior leadership team;
• Housemaster/ Housemistress.

The School is also not permitted to employ anyone to work in a position which involves the provision of 'childcare' if they are disqualified from providing 'childcare'. For these purposes 'childcare' includes:

• all supervised activities before, during and after the school day for children in our early years provision i.e. for a child up to 1 September following their 5th birthday;
• provision for children who are not in our early years provision and who are under the age of 8, which takes place on the school premises before or after the school day.

Work as a cleaner, driver, transport escort, member of the catering staff or member of the office staff is not considered 'childcare' for these purposes.

The declaration in the last section of this Form therefore asks you to confirm whether you are prohibited from carrying out 'teaching work', prohibited from being involved in the management of an independent school and/or disqualified from providing 'childcare'. You do not have to complete these aspects of the declaration if you are not applying for a relevant role. If you are unsure whether the role for which you are applying involves teaching work, is a relevant management role or involves the provision of 'childcare' please contact the HR department, .

The School will also carry out a check to determine whether successful applicants for relevant roles are prohibited from teaching and/or prohibited from involvement in the management of an independent school. Successful applicants for 'childcare' roles will be required to complete a childcare disqualification self declaration form.
