This could be the Class Teacher job you have been waiting for! The year group has not been decided as yet: we are awaiting to meet you first and celebrate your strengths.

We are a two-form entry First School with the most fabulous Nursery taking children from aged 2 years.

With a Connected Curriculum being embedded, a staff team focused on Quality First Teaching and a culture of togetherness - this is a wonderful school to work in and a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to make a difference.

Our school is nestled in the heart of a wonderful village with an incredibly supportive parent community. The PTA are

established and our community counts.

Children talk about our school being ‘respectful and kind’. They say that “everyone is welcome here” and they know that we respect each other and our community, work hard and enjoy friendships. In assembly, children said they go to ‘the school of kindness!’

With a year of change behind us – phonics, implementing the CUSP curriculum and other schemes such as The Story Project for PHSE, we are ready for a new Class Teacher to cover Maternity Leave.

We are looking for a Class Teacher, who believes that a successful school can dance between an ambitious, progressive curriculum and nurturing humanity, wellness and workload, so that every member of our school community flourishes.

We are seeking an ambitious and motivated teacher who is determined to give children the very best education and who will inspire our school community, uphold our mission to help every individual and live our values.

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Puts children at the heart of everything they do
• Values our school ethos and contributes to our culture of togetherness
• Is passionate about implementing our ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum
• Is well-organised, thoughtful and able to work effectively in a team
• Is enthusiastic, energetic and creative
• Is self-motivated and determined to build upon their professional development.
  
  
  

In return we can offer:

• A school that is continually reflecting on workload and wellbeing
• A caring and inclusive school with supportive and dedicated colleagues
• The opportunity to teach children who are aspirational and want to learn
• A community school nestled in the heart of a village.
  
  
  

We are open to applications from both experienced teachers as well as ECTs. Please specify any subject strengths, areas of interest or additional teaching specialisms within your application.
