Class Teacher job summary

This is a wonderful opportunity to join a great school, with a fantastic, supportive staff team. We currently have two opportunities for exceptional teachers to join our team in Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 1. We have a full time position in Key Stage 2 and a 0.4/0.5FTE, 2 /2.5 days, position Monday and Tuesday (optional Wednesday morning), in Key Stage 1.

We are currently a two form entry school in EYFS and KS1, with three forms of entry in KS2 . As part of the expansion of our school, the former St Albans Music School was converted into an impressive upper school building complete with a library, large PPA room, break out room, individual offices and most importantly spacious, fully equipped classrooms.

The rest of the school is very well organised including a large, separate EYFS area, which has its own outdoor provision. In addition, we have expansive and attractive outdoor facilities including four playgrounds, a large school field, an outdoor theatre and an environmental area. We have specialist support with music, drama, forest schools and PE / Sports.

Not only do we have a wonderful environment for learning but we also have a very experienced and supportive teaching team. CPD is very much at the heart of the school and professional development is integral to our continued school development.

The contract is for a fixed-term 1 year contract, as it is to cover maternity leave in the first instance. This may be able to change in the future depending on staffing changes.

Garden Fields JMI School is a part of the Ambition Education Trust in St Albans and is a large, thriving school where staff work together to provide children with the best outcomes.

Garden Fields is committed to safeguarding children and young people. All post holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

If all of this sounds exciting to you then why not make an application. If you would like to arrange an appointment to look around then please contact Mrs Dicks in our school office on 01727 890440 or by email on admin@gardenfields.aetrust.uk.

We look forward to hearing from you.
