We are looking for a strong and adaptable teacher to become part of our school team. The role is twofold; one day job sharing with an experienced teacher and the other, covering leadership release time for our Assistant Headteacher.

The successful candidate will need to: -

• Enjoy working as part of a team

In return we can offer a good school (Ofsted October ’21), fabulous children and a great staff team! We are supportive and encourage development.

For many of our pupils, English is their second or third language so an understanding of language development for EAL pupils and cultural diversity would be of benefit, but in no way essential. We also serve a large Service community, so mobility is high.

The post is offered on a fixed term basis for from September 2026 to August 2027 with the possibility of this being extended.
