Successful candidates will need to demonstrate that they are committed to delivering the best learning opportunities for every child. Applications are welcomed from graduates or individuals due to graduate in 2021 with an interest in training to become a primary school teacher.

We are looking for applicants with:
• The desire to work within the primary phase;
• Effective communication skills and a commitment to a collaborative team approach;
• Excellent organisational skills;
• Energy, loyalty, passion and integrity;
• An ambition to develop leadership skills and qualities;
• High aspirations for all children, themselves and a desire to raise standards;
• An undergraduate degree.

Whether you are a newly-graduated individual looking for a programme to secure your QTS or an experienced school worker looking to do more with your degree, or indeed a career-changer – apply now to be considered!
