About this Role

At Clover Leys, we are seeking an enthusiastic and committed Class Teacher who shares our passion for providing an exceptional primary education. As a member of our team, you will help bring our REACH values—Resilience, Empathy, Ambition, Community and Health—to life in every aspect of school life. These values guide our teaching, shape our relationships and underpin the culture that makes Clover Leys such a supportive and inspiring place to work and learn.

In this role, you will create engaging, purposeful learning experiences that nurture children’s curiosity, independence and confidence. You will support pupils to develop resilience in their learning, show empathy towards others, strive for ambition in their achievements, contribute positively to our community, and understand the importance of physical and emotional health. Working alongside a dedicated and friendly staff team, you will play a key part in shaping the future of our growing school.

We are looking for class teachers who bring energy, commitment and a genuine passion for helping every child succeed. Our ideal candidates are highly motivated, approaching each day with positivity, creativity and a determination to provide the very best learning experiences. They are inclusive practitioners who value every child, celebrate diversity and ensure that all pupils—whatever their background, needs or starting points—feel supported, challenged and able to thrive.

We are seeking teachers who set ambitious goals for our children, believing in their potential and creating a classroom culture where pupils are inspired to persevere, take risks and achieve their very best. Equally important are excellent communication skills: the ability to build strong relationships with pupils, work collaboratively with colleagues and engage openly and professionally with parents and carers. At Clover Leys, high expectations sit alongside warmth, empathy and a deep belief in the capabilities of every learner.

We would love to welcome you to Clover Leys to experience our wonderful school for yourself. Stepping through our doors, you’ll feel the calm, purposeful atmosphere and see children who are enthusiastic, curious, and eager to learn. A tour gives you the chance to meet our friendly team, explore our beautiful learning spaces, and get a true sense of the values and vision that make Clover Leys such a special place to work. We believe the best way to understand our school is to see it in action—so please come and have a look around; we’re excited to show you what makes Clover Leys a fantastic place to begin the next chapter of your teaching career.

At Clover Leys, you’ll join a supportive, inspiring team where collaboration and care are at the heart of our work. We provide excellent CPD and training, with clear opportunities for professional growth at every stage of your career. This role gives you the chance to make a genuine difference to children’s lives within a warm, ambitious school community.

As part of the Spencer Academies Trust, you’ll also benefit from a strong professional network, high‑quality development programmes and additional staff wellbeing and career opportunities.

Early application is strongly encouraged as we reserve the right to interview and close the advert ahead of the closing date.
