Class Teacher job summary
Thank you for taking an interest in this role.
We are really excited to have an opportunity to bring new ideas, enthusiasm and experience into our fast-improving school.
We are looking for someone with enthusiasm for all aspects of school life, someone who loves children and wants to make real, every teacher’s commitment to making a difference. In return we offer you the opportunity to contribute, permanently, to the future of our school community.
At our school, you really make a difference. Westminster is almost twice as large as an average primary school though as a result of unplanned mass mobility into the area, our numbers on roll are actually steady despite losing a class each year for the last 7 years. This unplanned mass mobility of children who are new to the country, community and school now makes up a large proportion of the school. Significant numbers of our new children are asylum seekers and refugees and experienced severe trauma on their journey to our country, community and school. We know a number of our children have 3 or more ACEs through our Safeguarding and Inclusion work and recognise that there will be many more where we have not had notification or provide intervention.
We serve an area of extremely high socio-economic deprivation, where experience of, and aspiration to, education success has been historically and significantly low – IMD & LSOA data confirms the children live in an area that is identified as being in the most deprived 5% of the country and has become more deprived since 2015. Our constituency, Bradford East, has the highest rate of unemployment in Bradford, the lowest life expectancy and highest infant mortality rates. Crime figures show that we are in the 2% most affected areas in the country. 14% classed as obese on entry into Reception and 30% of Y6 children are classed as obese. Both these figures are higher than the national and Bradford averages and are despite our priority on physical activity in PE and healthy eating in DT.
All of these challenges have resulted in our proactive work to ensure that our curriculum and approaches meet the needs of all children, including the large proportion who are new to the country, community & school.
Change is constant in education and though we manage the amount of change, we need reliable and flexible teachers to adapt and deliver new ideas to allow our children to flourish in everything they do.
You will be pivotal to our work at a time when we are making exciting changes to our school – you have the opportunity to be a huge part of what we are trying to achieve.
