KS1 and KS2 teachers are invited to apply as we'll be able to reorganise our team for the right person.
We're looking for a new teacher who shares our commitment to being a happy and healthy place to achieve and believe. We're committed to raising attainment and accelerating progress through effective pedagogy, a comprehensive curriculum and rigour in everything we do.The successful candidate will need to demonstrate motivation and enthusiasm. Our commitment to reducing teacher workload is clear in how we organise PPA time. This is always alongside colleagues in school, so you'll benefit from lots of support from other experienced teachers in the same phase.

The post involves working closely with other teachers within our school, across the phase and across Sphere Federation (Moortown Primary; Scholes (Elmet) Primary; St James' CE Primary). This position is based at St James'. However, if you're interested in working for us, we're currently recruiting teachers for September in all Sphere Federation schools.
