Welcome to our school
Lythe C of E Primary School is a happy, welcoming, and growing school situated only 10 minutes’ drive from Whitby on the North Yorkshire Coast. Everyone who comes into Lythe School comments on the warm, welcoming atmosphere and we would love you to join our school and become part of our supportive, friendly, hard-working family. With our distinctively Christian ethos, we take a pride in helping everyone at Lythe School make the most of “life in all its fullness.”
Our unique setting, close to historic Whitby and with woodland, moorland and the beach within walking distance, allows us to offer extensive opportunities for creative teaching and learning. Our small classes, each with an experienced Teaching Assistant, allow our teachers to build great relationships that let children thrive.

Our opportunity
Our current teacher is moving on to other opportunities after a long career at Lythe School and we are now looking to appoint an experienced, highly motivated and ambitious classroom teacher to provide excellent education within our growing KS1 and Lower KS2 phase.
Children come into the class having followed a highly child-led and play-based Early Years curriculum and we need someone who can build on this and ensure that children continue to flourish personally and academically as they move up through the school, following their own interests, developing strengths and becoming independent, resilient, ambitious learners.

We are very much excited about the future. As a school we are well placed to continue to achieve good outcomes for our children, and we want our new colleague to add their own ideas and skills to our school.
You will find a culture of team work, kindness and honesty where we strive every day to provide the very best education for our children.

• Happy, enthusiastic and well-behaved children who thrive in a safe, caring and inspiring environment.
• A Whitby and wider community which, through the DFE Opportunity Area, has come together to share the best practice, and work together on early years, primary and secondary projects.

We are seeking a teacher who:
• Has a good knowledge and understanding of the KS1 and KS2 curriculum, including good personal subject and pedagogical knowledge.
