We are looking for experienced teacher (MPS or UPS) in order to complement and grow our teaching team.

Teaching at Yew Tree is more than a job; It is being a part of our family – our community!

We particularly want to hear from candidates who passionately believe in our five core values (responsibility, respect, courage, ambition & pride) and our vision of ‘Learning Without Limits’ for all of our children.
We are looking for somebody who is:
- Passionate about education
- Confident and up-to-date with curriculum & assessment strategies
- Able to create an exciting and inclusive learning environment for our children
- Capable of delivering an exceptional quality of teaching
- Committed to developing every child regardless of needs
- Able to meet the differing needs of children in their class and knowledge of a range of special educational needs & disabilities
- Committed to working closely with the school community
- Willing to work as part of a team
- Able to foster and develop a caring ethos

- A supportive environment in which relationships are nurtured and valued
- A dedicated, friendly and passionate staff
- A commitment to continued professional development
- A commitment to high standards and continual improvement
- Enthusiastic and caring children who work hard
- Modern facilities and extensive grounds to inspire learning
