Applications from talented and enthusiastic teachers are invited for this exciting opportunity to join the dedicated and supportive Abbeyfields team. As part of Cheviot Learning Trust, we strive to enable all pupils to be happy, ambitious, and love learning.

The successful candidate will:
1. Be an inspirational classroom teacher with high expectations of all children.
