Class Teacher (1-Year Fixed Contract) job summary

We are looking for someone special to join us for at least a year at KA Gomer while one of our fabulous team members takes maternity leave.

King’s Academy Gomer is a vibrant, caring community where every child is empowered to flourish. Our SATs results in 2025 were well above national average and our attendance is in the top 10% of schools in the country. In our April Ofsted inspection, we were awarded two ‘outstanding’ judgements and two ‘good’ judgements. Inspectors noted:

“Pupils keenly attend school because they enjoy learning. Expectations for their achievement are high. Pupils’ behaviour is impeccable and their attitudes to their education are exemplary. There is a purposeful environment in classrooms.”

Our values, Honesty, Faith, and Courage are at the heart of all we do. We are ambitious for every pupil, ensuring they experience a school where creativity, ambition, and care go hand in hand.

We are looking for a Classroom Teacher on a one year fixed contract (to cover maternity but the contract could genuinely be extended) who will:

• Bring energy and enthusiasm to inspire and engage pupils in their learning

• Build positive, trusting relationships with children, colleagues, and families

• Share our commitment to nurturing each child’s potential

What you’ll get from us:

• A warm, collaborative team culture with ‘Team Gomer’ spirit

• Enthusiastic children who are eager to learn and achieve

• Strong support for your professional growth and development

• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a school community

If you are a passionate educator looking to make a difference, we would love to hear from you. Visits to the school are welcome.

Commitment to safeguarding

GFM Education is committed to safeguarding children and promoting the welfare of children. We ensure our recruitment practices reflect this commitment. Successful candidates are subject to a enhanced DBS check.It is a criminal offence to apply for or accept a position (paid or unpaid) working with children if you are excluded from such work by virtue of a court order or exclusion by the DBS. Although a criminal record involving offences against children is likely to debar you from appointment of this type of post, the existence of other criminal convictions will not necessarily be a bar to employment.
