Are you an enthusiastic and child-centred educator committed to achieving high standards through effective teaching and learning within the primary phase? Join us as a Primary Classroom Teacher, where you will be responsible for the progress and supervision of children in your allocated classes while striving to deliver outstanding and interactive lessons and promoting the consistent and fair use of the behaviour policy.
As a Key Stage 2 teacher working within our family of schools, you will support children aged 7–11 in developing deeper knowledge and critical thinking through a broad and balanced curriculum, fostering independence, resilience, and a love for learning in preparation for secondary education.
In joining our family of schools, you will be appointed to a school within a local area (see below), and we will work with you to offer deployment to a school that is suitable for you geographically and that matches your skillset, development and the needs of the school. This brings opportunity and flexibility should you wish to consider working in other schools that bring different challenges and experiences to further develop your practice and input to a wider community. Deployments will always be in consultation and for full academic years unless in exceptional circumstances.
