What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you an experienced KS2 Teacher looking to work in a charming, picturesque village school?

(This role is not suitable for ECT’s)

Our Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced teacher to join our Wykeham teaching team. You will be working in our wonderful Year 3 & 4 mixed-age pupil class.

On Wednesday afternoons you will participate in PPA and our weekly staff meeting to get you ready for full days of teaching on Thursday and Friday.

Wykeham is a smaller school with approximately 65 pupils and 3 classes “Acorns, Saplings & Oaks” matching the Forest School ethos. You will be joining a teaching team of 3 teachers and 3 teaching assistants, supported by our Headteacher and Deputy Head.

Our Requirement

We are looking for an experienced primary school teacher who relishes a role where no two days are the same. You will need strong collaboration, team working, and communication skills to share lesson planning and other duties with your fellow Y3 / 4 Class Teacher.

You will be:

  • A skilled professional who has an engaging and dynamic style of teaching and can differentiate across a mixed age range.
  • Someone who has the drive and ambition to make sure all our children achieve their very best, and promotes academic excellence
  • A teacher with a flair and passion for primary education who will embrace working and teaching in our school.


What the school offers its staff

Our School

Located in the village of Wykeham on the North Yorkshire moors just 6 miles from Scarborough, the school offers quaint countryside charm. Wykeham works closely with its partner school, Hackness, as part of the Hackness & Wykeham Church of England School’s Federation. This collaborative, supportive structure reflects our attitudes, we are a smaller school with a caring, supportive ethic.

Wykeham is a Forest School, we utilise our large outdoor area as well as local parks. We believe all our children should have access to the outdoors as part of their development, fostering a relationship between the environment and learning. This is also a great opportunity to step out of the classroom for a change of scenery! You can see examples of our outdoor activities on our website, such as creating Roman numerals from sticks.

We can offer you:

  • Delightful children who respect each other, have a thirst for learning new things and a staff culture which allows new members to thrive and develop.
  • Opportunities to further develop your craft and a leadership team that will support your ideas and use school resources to help your career aspirations.
  • A village school where staff tell us they ‘have tailored professional opportunities and are encouraged to play their part in our distributed leadership structure.’
  • Children who love being here and in their words: ‘Wykeham is a happy school and we learn from each other’.
