Thank you for your interest in the post of Class Teacher at Holy Family Catholic Primary School, Warton. We are delighted that you are considering applying to join our school community and hope that this application pack gives you a clear sense of who we are and what makes Holy Family such a special place to work. 

We are a welcoming and vibrant Catholic primary school with approximately 160 children on roll, aged 4 to 11, and a dedicated, talented staff team committed to providing an excellent education in a nurturing environment. At Holy Family, our mission — “Love one another as I have loved you” — is at the heart of everything we do, shaping our vision and guiding us in creating an environment in which children, staff and families can grow spiritually, morally, socially, culturally and intellectually.

This full-time class teacher role will primarily involve teaching Year 1 within Key Stage 1. The post is offered on a fixed-term basis from 1st September 2026 until 31st March 2027, covering the autumn and spring terms. However, there is a strong likelihood that the role will continue through to the end of the summer term, and we wish applicants to be aware of this positive possibility when considering the opportunity.

We are seeking an excellent classroom practitioner who is committed to high standards, values positive relationships and will contribute fully to the life of our school. The successful candidate will join a supportive team who work closely together to ensure that every child is known, nurtured and encouraged to flourish academically and personally.

In return, we can offer enthusiastic children who are eager to learn, a committed and supportive staff team, engaged families and governors who value the contribution of every member of staff. We are proud of our strong sense of community and of the positive relationships that underpin all we do.

We warmly encourage you to visit us to see our school in action and to meet the children and staff who make Holy Family such a special place. Please contact the school office to arrange a convenient time. You will also find more about us on our website: www .family.lancs.sch.uk.
