Job description

Brook Lodge Community Primary School is seeking to appoint a Reception Class Teacher to cover a maternity leave for 2 days per week from December 2026, who has the right qualities to make a difference to our children and our community as part of our inspirational school.

We are looking for an excellent classroom teacher, who wants to become part of a great team. Our school is driven by a powerful ethos that recognises the unique value of each individual. We want MAGIC children - Motivated, Aspirational, Growing in Independence and Confidence and we want MAGIC staff too.

We are seeking staff who do not just deliver in the classroom, but can work collaboratively with staff, parents as well as the children to help our pupils make great progress and achieve fantastic outcomes. We are also looking for a teacher who will challenge themselves and look to constantly develop their skills.

We are a one-form entry school and so the class teacher role means that you are responsible for planning, delivering and assessing the curriculum for the chosen year group. Any new member of staff would receive support from an experienced and friendly staff.

Our subject leaders will always be on hand to offer support where required (Any ECT would be provided with a mentor and relevant CPD support) Applications from ECTs are welcome and in this instance, you would not be asked to lead a subject but please express any qualifications/interests/expertise in any particular subjects you have.

If you are not an ECT, we would expect you to lead a subject(s) so again, please list any experience or qualifications/interests you have in a subject you may be able to lead. We also welcome any of our staff contributing to our extra-curricular offer so please state any interests in anything that you may be interested in providing in time.
