Full-Time | Permanent
Start Date: ASAP
This primary school in Slough is seeking a reliable, adaptable, and confident PPA Teacher to join their team on a full-time basis, starting as soon as possible. This role is a key part of the school's staffing structure and is valued as a permanent and consistent position rather than short-term cover. The successful candidate will play an important role in maintaining high-quality teaching and learning across the school while class teachers are released for planning, preparation, and assessment time.
The PPA Teacher will work across different year groups, delivering pre-planned lessons and ensuring that pupils experience continuity, consistency, and high expectations in every classroom. This is an excellent opportunity for a teacher who enjoys variety and is confident adapting their teaching style to suit different ages and abilities.
The school is well organised and supportive, with clear systems in place to ensure the PPA role is manageable and effective. Planning is provided, expectations are clear, and communication between staff is strong. You will be treated as an integral part of the teaching team and included in staff meetings, training, and wider school life.
Key aspects of the role include:
* Delivering engaging and purposeful lessons across the primary curriculum
* Maintaining positive behaviour and a calm learning environment
* Following school policies consistently across all classes
* Working collaboratively with teaching assistants and support staff
* Providing clear feedback to class teachers to support pupil progress
* Ensuring safeguarding procedures are followed at all times
This role would suit a teacher who is organised, flexible, and confident managing transitions between classes and year groups. You will need to build positive relationships with pupils quickly and establish clear routines within different classrooms. Experience teaching across more than one key stage is beneficial, but not essential.
The school is open to applications from:
* Qualified teachers with QTS
* Early Career Teachers looking to gain broad experience
* Experienced teachers seeking a varied and balanced teaching role
* Teachers returning to the classroom who are confident and adaptable
What the school offers:
* A supportive and approachable leadership team
* Clear planning and expectations for the PPA role
* Well-behaved pupils who are used to working with different teachers
* Opportunities for professional development and training
* A positive working environment where staff are valued
