The Governors and Headteacher are seeking to appoint excellent teachers for KS1 and KS2, with a particular interest in candidates who have experience in Upper Key Stage 2. Applications are welcomed from experienced teachers, ECTs and those on the Main Pay Scale. An ability to lead writing would be advantageous but is not essential.
We are looking for highly effective classroom practitioners who are creative, resilient and committed to achieving the best outcomes for pupils. Candidates should have high expectations, a passion for teaching and a willingness to develop professionally within a supportive team.
In return, we offer excellent mentoring and support, a dedicated and experienced staff team, and a friendly, caring environment that values collaboration and wellbeing. Our school embraces a solution-focused approach and recognises the challenges within education.
Our vision, “Together we are inspiring a community with a bright future,” underpins our work. We deliver a carefully sequenced, ambitious and inclusive curriculum, rooted in research. Relationships are central to our ethos, and all staff receive training in trauma-informed practice. We place strong emphasis on mental health and wellbeing for both pupils and staff.
We are passionate about developing leadership at all levels. A bespoke coaching programme supports leaders, including subject leaders, to develop strategic skills and drive strong outcomes for all pupils.
Visits to the school are encouraged. Please contact the school office to arrange an appointment. Applicants should state their preferred key stage and any curriculum strengths within their application.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. A DBS check is required, and shortlisted candidates will be subject to an online profile search.
