Job description

Are you a passionate teacher ready to make a real difference in the lives of young learners? We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Year 3 Class Teacher to join our supportive and forward-thinking school community.

This role is ideal for either an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking for a nurturing environment to launch their teaching journey, or an experienced teacher ready for a new challenge in a vibrant Key Stage 2 setting.

We offer:

• A welcoming and inclusive school with a strong team ethos
• A comprehensive ECT induction programme with experienced mentors
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression
• Well-resourced classrooms and a creative, engaging curriculum
• A leadership team that values staff wellbeing and work-life balance

If you’re ready to inspire, support, and grow with a dedicated team, we’d love to hear from you.

Moorhill Primary School has a welcoming and highly dedicated team, committed to working in partnership with parents and the school community. We want children to enjoy and excel in their learning and achieve their potential in all areas of school life. Academic achievement is important, as is achievement in music, sport and the arts.

Shaw Education Trust are a thriving mix of diverse and growing schools including Primary, Secondary and Special Schools all working together to improve the lives of young people in our communities. We are sponsored by Shaw Trust a charity organisation that focuses on transforming lives. We’re a growing group of dynamically awesome academies providing education to children of all ages and abilities. Staff across our team of schools are dedicated to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to be successful, whatever their starting point in life.

We believe that everyone has the potential to be extraordinary!

To this end, our growing number of Primary schools within the trust tirelessly pursue excellence through research-based collaboration and innovation. Our developing, Trust-wide, 3D Primary curriculum and pioneering Digital Strategy is designed to create inspirational, energetic and immersive learning experiences. These enable every child to flourish within a caring, stimulating and purposeful atmosphere; fully prepared for their next stage of life and learning.

We know that at primary school, the quality of teaching affects both children’s social behaviour and intellectual development. This age and stage of learning has a more powerful impact on children’s academic progress than any other educational sector. Home too has a vital part to play! - Recognised through extensive research, it is the importance of early experiences and the powerful combination of home, pre-school and primary school partnerships that set the foundations enabling our amazing children and pupils to succeed.

Unlike other MATs, we don’t enforce a curriculum for all our schools to follow. Instead, we support each individual school to offer a programme that enables our students to deepen their knowledge, develop their skills, sparks their imagination and fires their curiosity.
