These roles would be ideal for an NQT or early career teacher
We are seeking two talented, friendly and dynamic teachers to join our established team at New Town in September 2021. These roles will be crucial in supporting our aspirational ‘Good’ school to continue to improve, as we look to always provide the very best for our diverse children and families.
These roles would be ideal for NQTs or RQTs although all suitable applicants will be considered. We require one permanent teacher to be placed in Foundation Stage and one temporary class teacher for either KS1 or KS2.

- An enthusiastic classroom practitioner with excellent teaching skills who is forward thinking and able to adapt quickly and easily
- An excellent teacher with children at the heart of all planning and practice
- Dynamic and fast-paced, finding effective solutions at every turn whilst considering others’ points of view
- A team player with the ability to work well both individually, as part of a phase and as a whole staff
- Thoughtful and reflective, and enjoy using research and literature to help shape your practice
- A kind and caring person, enjoying the bustling life of our diverse school family and always looking to recognise our polite and kind children
- Efficient and effective in your working practices and able to prioritise well
In return, our team can offer:
- An optimistic and close-knit senior leadership team with a track record of improving schools
- A firmly established ethos of caring for one another in our school family
- A strong middle leadership team who will guide and nurture you through your role
- A commitment to professional development, and a belief in driving improvement through looking outwards to the world beyond our walls
- A beautiful Victorian school with an abundance of space and opportunity, filled with light, life and love
- The opportunity to work with a wider professional team of three unique schools, all brilliantly supported by a Trust who strongly value the individual school’s character, ethos and approaches
- Secure car parking and a staff well-being package
