Class Teacher job summary

Are you looking for a wonderful opportunity to work in a friendly and collaborative team? If so, Meryfield could be the perfect place for you.

Our well-resourced, two form entry school offers a stimulating and creative learning environment in a calm, well-maintained, school building set in beautiful open grounds.

All teachers have dedicated PPA time along with their year group colleagues and have the support of a full time teaching assistant who works closely with them to deliver high quality provision for all the children in their class.

Applications are welcomed from ECTs as well as more experienced teachers.

At Meryfield everyone is valued and CPD for all is a school priority. We have an excellent record of success in supporting young teachers at the beginning of their career and many have progressed to more senior posts in our school. Meryfield is part of the Agora Learning Partnership Trust (formerly the Herts for Learning Multi Academy Trust), which is an inclusive, collaborative and forward looking Trust where we all work together, to give all of the children in our academies the best possible education and learning opportunities. The Agora Learning Partnership consists of 10 schools. The schools within the Trust each maintain their own clear identity, however, we work collaboratively within the Trust so there is a huge amount of opportunity and support for staff in each school. For more information about the Trust, please visit their website.

Initially the post we are looking to fill would be either in Nursery or Reception but from the next academic year there is potential to move to other year groups across the school.

We are very proud of our school and strongly encourage candidates to visit before applying as our children and staff will be more than happy to answer your questions and provide an insight into what life at Meryfield is like. Please contact our school office on 02089532106 and we will be happy to arrange an appointment for you to visit. We look forward to meeting you.
