Overview
Alston Lane Catholic Primary School and Nursery is part of the Mater Ecclesiae Catholic MAT. We are a single form entry school with a record of high standards and high expectations. It is an excellent school for staff at all levels to develop professionally. We are a good school with outstanding religious provision.
Information
Due to the current Year 6 teacher starting maternity leave in November, we are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated teacher to work in Year 6 from approximately 24th November until the return of the post holder in July 2026. Please note that dates may vary if the maternity start date differs.
The successful candidate will have high expectations in all areas of school life and a passion for ensuring the highest possible outcomes for pupils. They will work within our Key Stage 2 team and benefit from rich professional development and support, relevant to the role. They will deliver a broad and balanced curriculum with the development of skills, knowledge and prior learning central to their teaching. Experience of leading KS2 SATs preparation would be a desirable attribute.
In our Catholic school, it is desirable for staff to have a strong personal faith, but essential for them to fully immerse themselves in the Catholic teaching of the school.
This position is not suitable for an early career teacher, as we require an experienced practitioner in this year group.
