Waingroves is a caring, inclusive and oversubscribed Primary School in the heart of its community. As a school we pride ourselves on equally valuing each pupil as an individual, on helping them develop a positive attitude to learning and achieve the highest possible standards in their education.

The Headteacher and Governors would like to appoint a dynamic, committed individual to teach a Year 3 class ideally from 1^st September 2026. Teachers who can demonstrate consistently good or outstanding teaching are invited to apply.

We can offer:

• well behaved, polite, enthusiastic children
• a well-resourced school
• friendly colleagues
• supportive governors, staff and parents

The school is proud to be part of The Embark Federation, a growing Multi-academy Trust across Derbyshire.  The core beliefs of the Federation are Family, Integrity, Teamwork and Success and we are looking for someone that shares these with us. The Trust is committed to growing the careers of our staff through highly effective professional development.

Our children and staff are at the heart of everything we do as a Trust.  We constantly seek better ways to enable brilliant learning every day, supporting children to be amazing in their own unique way. More information is available about the trust via our website www.embarkfederation.com
