Class Teacher

Start Date: September 2026

Contract: Full-time, permanent Salary: Fringe Main Pay Scale (£34,398 - £46,839) Location: Hampshire

Are you ready to be the spark that starts a lifelong love of learning?

We aren’t your average school and we aren’t looking for an average teacher. Situated in a challenging but incredibly rewarding area of Hampshire (but paid as Surrey Fringe), our nursery and infant school is a place where Quality First Teaching meets a whole lot of heart. We know that for our children, a great Reception teacher doesn’t just teach phonics—they change life trajectories.

Why join us?

We work hard and we go the extra mile because our children deserve it, but we also know that you can’t pour from an empty cup. We offer a culture that actually walks the talk on wellbeing:

·         Real Flexibility: Want to see your own child’s nativity or special assembly? We’ll make it happen.

·         PPA from Home: Get your planning and assessment done in your slippers.

·         A True Team: We chip in, look out for each other and socialise together. We realise there is much more to life than just work.

·         The Fun Factor: From dressing up days to winning prizes, we believe school should be a place of joy for staff as much as the pupils.

·         Career Growth: Whether you are an ECT or an experienced hand, we offer training opportunities and support to gain further qualifications to help you climb the ladder.

The Role

You will be responsible for creating a stimulating, Quality First environment where every child feels safe to explore and grow. You’ll plan an exciting curriculum that ensures all pupils, including those with additional needs, make maximum progress.

We are looking for someone who:

·         Holds QTS and has a genuine passion for early years.

·         Can manage a classroom with praise, rewards and a positive ethos.

·         Is a team player who is happy to lead a curriculum subject and share expertise.

·         Is committed to safeguarding and the welfare of every child.
