Are you an enthusiastic, reflective and committed teacher who is passionate about teaching and learning? Do you want to be part of an incredible school where everyone belongs and kindness sits at the heart of everything we do?

Fairfield Spencer Academy is a larger-than-average primary school at the heart of its community. While we are a busy and vibrant school, Fairfield is very much a Fairfield family. We place great importance on creating a strong sense of belonging so that every child feels safe, valued and understood. When children feel happy and secure, they are able to thrive.

At Fairfield, we are proud to be the heart of our local community. We work in close partnership with our families and believe that strong relationships between home and school are key to children’s success. Together, we aim to develop children who are not only rich in knowledge, but also in humanity and heart – children who show compassion, respect and a genuine care for others.

We have high expectations for all our children and are committed to providing an education that inspires a love of learning and challenges every child to reach their full potential. We are looking for a class teacher who shares these values and is excited to contribute to our inclusive, supportive and ambitious school.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is an enthusiastic and passionate teacher with a commitment to high-quality teaching and learning
• Has high expectations for all pupils and a belief that every child can succeed
• Creates a positive, nurturing classroom environment where children feel safe and valued
• Is reflective, motivated and keen to develop their practice
• Works well as part of a team and values strong relationships with pupils, families and colleagues

• Children who are happy, enthusiastic and eager to learn
• A strong sense of belonging and teamwork
• High-quality professional development and opportunities to grow your career
