KS2 Teacher (Flash Ley Community Primary School and Nursery)

An exciting opportunity has arisen at Flash Ley Community Primary School for a Keystage 2 Class Teacher. Experience in Year 6 is desirable.

Our school achieved an Ofsted Result in June 2023 of Good, with Outstanding Features.

• Staff work closely together and support each other. Leaders are mindful of their well-being and workload. Staff cited many examples about how leaders have supported them. Staff greatly value this support. Governors are committed to the school and its pupils. They make sure that bought in services provide good value for money. Therefore, pupils have a well-resourced environment in which to learn.
• The school motto of ‘believe to achieve’ is realised at Flash Ley Primary. Leaders have high aspirations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils live up to these expectations. They flourish both academically and socially. There is a strong sense of pastoral care across the school.

The children, governors, staff and parents are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and inspiring Class Teacher who has the enthusiasm and creativity to join our team of staff who work together striving to raise standards and improve the quality of educational provision for all of our children.
