About this Role

We are looking for a class teacher to join our existing team for September 2026. This is a post that could be suitable for a teacher at the early stages of their career or an experienced teacher as we currently have a team of experienced teachers. We currently have a class structure of some single age classes and some mixed age classes and it is anticipated that we will have a similar structure in September 2026. There is flexibility for the right candidate about year group allocation and all classes will have TA support and will have less than 30 children. This post is most likely to be for one of our single age classes. More information about the potential class structure will be shared with prospective candidates.

We have good levels of TA support, again from a team of experienced TAs. Our school dates back to 1877 with three classrooms in the original school and three classrooms in newer buildings. The grounds are extensive and children benefit from a huge amount of space to play.

Children play across year groups with their friends. We have a house system which encourages team work. We use a therapeutic approach to behaviour management.

Ultimately this is a school where every member of staff and every child is known and cared about as an individual.To find out more, please come and visit our lovely school and see what makes it a really special place to be.
