St Nicholas is a happy, child-centred school looking for a dedicated and passionate teacher to join our committed, nurturing team. Whilst currently an Infant School, we are at the beginning of an exciting journey, with a planned move to a brand new, purpose-built school in September 2026, where we will grow our school family to cover the full primary range. This is a long-awaited move for the school and we cannot wait to continue supporting children with their extended learning journey, enabling them to become the best they can be.

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and innovative teacher. The successful applicant will share our school’s ethos and values and will themselves have a passion to see children flourish and achieve their potential. St Nicholas is a school where children’s characters, gifts and abilities are enabled to grow, and so we want the same for our staff. Being part of a thriving Multi-Academy Trust, the largest in Oxfordshire, opens up wider opportunities to support staff with their ongoing professional development. 

We can offer:

·    Happy, enthusiastic children with a positive attitude to learning

·    A positive, caring working environment encompassing our ethos and values

·    Strong links with our community including wonderful parental support

·    Free access to a comprehensive and confidential Health & Wellbeing Service

·    Investment in continued professional development

 The successful applicant will:

·    Be an excellent practitioner putting children at the heart of their work

·    Be able to inspire, motivate and challenge children to achieve their best

·    Be resilient and prepared to go the extra mile to make a difference to our children

·    Have outstanding interpersonal and organisational skills

·    Have high personal and professional standards, committing themselves to success through effort and teamwork

·    Be committed to the school’s Christian ethos, vision and values
