Class Teacher job summary

Dear potential applicant,

Thank you very much for showing an interest in the post of Class Teacher at Farsley Farfield Primary School from September 2020. Our vacancy is in Foundation stage or KS1 in the first instance.

We are looking for an exciting teacher to start or further their career with us. S/he will need to have a good sense of humour and a commitment to working with others. Crucially, s/he will have a passion for children’s learning and very good classroom practice. We expect very strong IT skills to make best use of the school’s strong ‘e-learning’ culture and infrastructure. We would hope for additional skills or interests in Geography, Art or Music but this is not essential. In return, Farsley Farfield Primary School will do its very best to value and develop you professionally. We will provide a rewarding and supportive working environment.

Please take a look at our website: www.farsleyfarfield.org.uk and pay particular attention to the wonderful class blogs for more information and to get a ‘feel’ for our school.
The closing date for receipt of applications is 4pm on Wednesday 22nd April 2020. If you are successful in the short-listing process, you will be invited to attend for interview on either Wednesday 6th or Thursday 7th May 2020 (perhaps, remotely). As part of the final selection process, you would usually be asked to deliver a short lesson, but this may not be possible on this occasion. I would advise you to make reference to or include recent lesson feedback in any documentation that you submit.

We look forward to receiving your application.

Yours faithfully,
Peter Harris
Head teacher

We are a large, popular ‘good’ school with an intake of 60 and over 450 pupils on roll (including up to 52 nursery children). We have two buildings (infant and junior) and huge school grounds. Our children are lovely and they work hard. We are proud of each of them and their varied achievements. Our staff team is also incredibly hard working, and they combine this with flair and imagination. We work closely in teams and support and help each other.

Academic standards are generally good and sometimes very good. We have a rich and engaging curriculum and make huge use of educational visits with access to a number of minibuses. We have a large number of extra-curricular clubs, and a strong relationship with local sports clubs. We are strong in sports generally but would welcome even more expertise. Our Foundation Stage is informed by the ‘Planning in the Moment’ approach to early years provision. We have a much higher than average number of children funded for their SEND and/or in possession of an EHCP. Positive attitudes to inclusion are essential at our school.

Our wonderful and extensive school grounds give plenty of scope for environmental work. We also have a unique ‘Farfield Farm’ resource including poly tunnels, raised beds, chickens, bees, a farm classroom and 60-tree orchard. In 2017 we were awarded the title of national Healthy School of the Year by the TES in recognition of our work around food production, cooking, healthy eating, sports and physical activity.
