About this Role

A haven of hope and aspiration — where kindness, resilience and ambition shape every day…

We are seeking an inspirational class teacher (KS1 or KS2) who will ignite curiosity, model compassion and high expectations, and enable every pupil to flourish.

Why you’ll love working here

  • A values‑driven school: our Christian vision and Jeremiah 29:11 underpin daily life. Our five core values — Compassion, Friendship, Resilience, Respect, Aspiration — are lived in classrooms and corridors.
  • Exceptional support: an experienced SLT and committed governors provide practical, day‑to‑day leadership so you can focus on excellent teaching and pupil progress.
  • Truly inclusive community: we welcome a richly diverse intake (c.50% EAL, 38% pupil premium, 18% SEND). We champion high‑quality universal teaching and expect clever adaptation so every pupil achieves.
  • Professional growth and wellbeing: targeted CPD, coaching, clear career pathways and workload‑aware practice that values staff wellbeing.

The role

  • Plan, teach and assess knowledge‑rich, engaging lessons in KS1 or KS2 that meet the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND, EAL and pupil premium.
  • Create a safe, ambitious classroom where pupils take risks, solve problems and make strong progress.
  • Use crisp formative assessment to identify next steps; work closely with the SENCO, teaching assistants and families to remove barriers to learning.
  • Contribute to whole‑school improvement priorities and promote our values through everyday practice and collective worship.

We’re looking for someone who

  • Is a reflective, enthusiastic classroom practitioner with QTS and a track record of impact in KS1 or KS2.
  • Holds high expectations for every pupil and skilfully adapts teaching so ALL pupils make strong progress.
  • Builds warm, purposeful relationships with pupils, families and colleagues.
  • Is committed to our Christian ethos and to developing resilient, respectful and aspirational learners.

We offer

  • A supportive SLT who invest in your development and wellbeing.
  • Skilled teaching assistants and access to inclusion expertise.
  • A proud, caring school community and consistently positive behaviour.
  • Opportunities for subject and leadership development across the trust.

Ready to make a real difference for our pupils? Apply now and help us nurture confident, curious children who are ready to learn, thrive and flourish together.

 We warmly encourage visits to the school. To arrange a tour or an informal conversation, please contact the school office.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All staff are expected to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to follow the relevant safeguarding procedures, including Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE) guidance, and will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.

We encourage early applications and reserve the right to close this vacancy early if a suitable candidate is found.
