What skills and experience we're looking for

Due to the retirement of one of our teachers, we are looking for a full-time class teacher to join our happy team. Ideally this would be a teacher for years 5&6, but there is the potential to change this for the right candidate based on their experience and skillset. This is initially a fixed term position beginning 1st September 2024with the potential of becoming permanent for the right candidate.

We are keen to hear from qualified teachers (ECTs maybe considered). We are especially keen to hear from anyone who may have experience of some or all of the following:

• Curriculum development and leadership
• Staff leadership & development (possibly including formal mentoring)
• Proven success in raising attainment within the classroom – preferably with experience across more than one Key Stage

We are seeking a ‘people person’ who likes interaction with others but who can equally work independently and manage a very busy work schedule which may include:

• Leading on the development and delivery of key areas of our curriculum
• Ensuring that the school’s commitment to safeguarding is upheld
• Actively seeking community engagement initiatives

We are proud to be a rural school and you must be someone who is prepared to get involved in all areas of the school life. Most importantly, we are looking for a team player with a great sense of humour, a ‘can do attitude’ and a big warm coat!

What the school offers its staff

• Friendly, enthusiastic and motivated pupils who are eager to learn.
• Supportive colleagues and a happy school community who work closely with parents and governors.
• A friendly staff team who are supportive of each other.
• A rural school set in beautiful grounds in the Peak District.

Shortlisting will take place on 16th May with provisional interview dates 20th and 21st May.
