Teacher (Upper KS2) - Bowhill Primary School (Exeter Learning Academy Trust)
- Exeter, Devon
- Full Time
- MPR 1-6: £32,916 - £45,352 per annum
Required to start September 2026
Fixed term to 31st August 2027
Every child deserves a teacher who believes in them before they believe in themselves
At Bowhill, we believe great teachers do far more than teach lessons. They inspire confidence. They spark curiosity. They help children discover strengths they never knew they had.
The moments that matter most in education are often the quiet ones. The child who finally puts their hand up. The reluctant learner who begins to believe in themselves. The pupil who feels truly seen, understood and valued.
These moments happen because of exceptional teachers.
Teachers who bring warmth, energy and creativity into the classroom. Teachers who set high expectations whilst showing compassion. Teachers who understand that relationships are at the heart of learning.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
