Are you a skilful communicator? Can you put the needs of others before your own? You could be just the colleague we need to teach at St Mary’s.

St Mary’s isn’t just a school; it’s a brave, forward-thinking family in which children come first. We need you to act as teacher, guide and advocate for our children. Maybe you’re just starting out in the profession, or perhaps you’re looking to return to teaching after a career break but haven’t yet found the right fit? This post could be for you…

Staff here know that their work can change lives and because of this, we strive to be at the forefront of primary education. Our research-based approach to learning, progressive curriculum and innovative learning environments make us unique - just take a look at our website! Likewise, we’re looking for a teacher who also stands out from the crowd: someone with the energy, grit and determination to establish themselves quickly and deliver the very best educational experiences for our children.

We know that talented staff will eventually want to advance in their career so to make sure that you grow and progress during your time at St Mary’s, we will: provide a comprehensive induction programme; equip you with an innovative and exciting curriculum to teach and develop; support your pedagogical development through our ‘Deliberate Professional Empowerment Programme’;

If you’re looking for a school with a traditionalist approach, this is not the role for you. It requires someone with a sense of adventure who will readily share in the hard work and excitement that accompanies our collective strive to provide an outstanding education to our children. With us, you’ll find reward in our warm-hearted character, collegiate approach and, most importantly in working with our remarkable children.

St Mary’s is a proud partner academy of SNMAT. Being part of this Trust is unlike working for others; they know quality when they see it and always look to retain excellence! Because they share our drive to provide the very best quality of education for our children, we are not bound by corporate colours or policies, meaning that your input could truly make a difference to our provision.

This role will be based in lower KS2 as part of a job share opportunity. This comes with the proviso that flexibility is key in teaching and this arrangement may be subject to change.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and would expect anyone joining our school to share the same ethos. All candidates are subject to safer recruitment procedures. The post is subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure.

The closing date for applications is 12pm on Sunday 29th November 2026. Interviews will be held on Thursday 3rd December 2026.
