Required from September 2026

Class Teacher (Temporary)

We are looking to appoint a highly motivated, enthusiastic and creative Class Teacher to join Hampton College’s Primary Phase.  This is a temporary position for one year, in the first instance. 

We welcome applications from candidates with experience of working in a variety of year groups, however experience of working in Key Stage 2 would be advantageous, but not essential.   Please note that teaching allocations for the academic year 2026/27 will be considered later on in the summer term.

The successful applicant should be a resilient and motivated individual who loves working with children and relish the satisfaction that comes from helping them to develop and to learn. You will be committed to our idea that fun is an important factor in learning. The successful candidate will be an integral part of the school and can expect the support needed to develop their career.

We are looking for individuals who are:

• * Passionate about offering children an environment which encourages them to love learning
• * Positive, energetic, creative and flexible
• * Able to offer pupils a broad and balanced learning experience
• * Able to demonstrate that learning is fun and act as a positive role model
• * Willing and able to promote the ethos and core values of our school.
• 
   Our Curriculum Plan

Our EYFS classes experience a rich, play-based curriculum which includes a balance of child-initiated, adult-guided and adult-supported learning opportunities.  We embrace the outdoor learning environment, as well as our indoor zoned learning spaces and offer children a diet of continuous provision, discrete teaching, guided activities and focused learning opportunities with a varying degree of adult support.

In Key Stage One, the transition from EYFS to Year 1 sees a balance of play-based learning opportunities with a greater emphasis on adult-guided learning. Phonics, English and mathematics form the foundations of our curriculum, with topic based activities supporting our children’s development in other subjects.  We use the Cornerstones Maestro Curriculum; which is broad and balanced, encourages independent and creative thinking and allows children to explore their own learning in a meaningful and fun way.

In Key Stage 2, whole class and guided group teaching forms a large part of our teaching and learning, whilst independent research and investigation skills are promoted through the Cornerstones Maestro topics.

The Role

The vacancy is for a full-time class teacher to join our current team to cover a period of maternity leave.  The successful candidate will be a committed and motivational teacher.  You will work closely with our primary phase Senior Leadership Team (SLT), class teachers and teaching assistants and will help to shape the future of our inquisitive and creative children.

Our commitment to home: school partnership means that we would expect the successful candidate to work closely with our parents and carers, acting as a point of contact for their class.  We would also expect the successful candidate to fully engage with outside agencies and other staff within school, including our secondary phase colleagues. 

Our School

At the primary phase, we have embedded the Hampton College Values into school through our PROUD aspirations.  This makes the shared Values accessible for younger children and forms the foundations of our approach to school life at Hampton College Primary.
