Job description

Class Teacher (ECT) - West Grove Primary School

West Grove Primary School

CLASS TEACHER

Contract: Full Time. Fixed term for 1 year

West Grove is a fabulous school to work in, with a cohesive staff who value team work, value each other and are not afraid to try new things. There is a real commitment to the vision of our school and a dedication to improving outcomes for the children. Staff wellbeing is very important to us, as although we all work really hard, we have lives outside the classroom too. We invest in our staff and make sure they feel appreciated.

Children at West Grove are guided by our values and benefit from a rich and diverse curriculum that stimulates learning. We have high expectations for behaviour and attitudes so children make great progress and are ambitious learners. Teaching is excellent and staff take time to adapt to the needs of every child in their class, both academic and pastoral. We are champions for our children and for the families we serve.

Our extensive outdoor space means children have access to a wide range of sporting activities and enjoy fun-filled playtimes where friendships are strengthened and imagination is developed. We take regular trips out and about so learning is given real-life context and children develop a genuine curiosity about the world we live in.

We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher who loves working with children. West Grove has a strong vision and we welcome professionals who are ready to be part of our exciting journey.

• You will be a champion of children and dedicated to the achievement of all. As part of a supportive team you will be ambitious for every child’s academic growth and character development.
• You will be committed to your own professional development and be curious about the wider educational landscape. By joining an outward looking school you will seize opportunities to learn from others.
• You will celebrate and support our core values as an integral part of the West Grove community. You will model these values in all your interactions with children, staff and families.
• You will promote an inclusive ethos that celebrates the individual. You will adapt teaching to maintain high expectations, recognise and respond to pastoral needs within your class and reject discrimination in any form.

This is a one-year fixed-term position. We welcome prospective candidates to arrange a school tour and see our fantastic school in action. Please contact the school office to book your visit.
