Year 3/4 Teacher (Maternity Cover, 0.4 FTE, Mondays and Tuesdays)
Location: Small Village Primary School near Cirencester (represented by Thrive Education Recruitment Ltd)
Start: February half term
About the School
This delightful village primary school is a warm, welcoming Church of England school set in a close-knit rural community just outside Cirencester. It is a school where relationships really matter, children are known as individuals, and families feel genuinely connected to school life.
The school is proud of its strong Christian values, nurturing ethos and caring approach. The curriculum is broad, balanced and enriched with memorable experiences, and reading underpins learning across the school. Children benefit from outdoor learning, clubs and strong links with the local community.
With approximately 100 pupils, the school offers the best of both worlds: a small, supportive environment with a lively, purposeful feel.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced Year 3/4 teacher to join the school for a fixed-term position (with the potential of going permanent), working 0.4 FTE on Mondays and Tuesdays. You will be part of a job share with a knowledgeable and established teacher, working closely together to ensure continuity and consistency for the children.
As the school already has an ECT in post, this role is open to experienced teachers only.
If you enjoy engaging Key Stage 2 learners, value strong routines and relationships, and thrive in a friendly, supportive village school, this role could be an excellent fit.
What the School Offers
A welcoming, close-knit staff team who genuinely support one another.
A rich and engaging curriculum, enhanced by gardens, forest and outdoor learning areas, and creative learning spaces.
A range of clubs, trips and enrichment opportunities that help children develop confidence and curiosity.
A strong focus on staff wellbeing, including reduced marking expectations and a thoughtful approach to workload.
Who We Are Looking For
An experienced and enthusiastic Lower Key Stage 2 teacher who enjoys making learning purposeful, engaging and accessible.
Someone who values consistency and builds strong relationships with pupils.
A teacher who works well as part of a job share and communicates effectively with colleagues.
Someone who is comfortable supporting the school’s Christian ethos and its commitment to nurturing confident, kind and capable children.
