What skills and experience we're looking for

Class Teacher

We’re looking for a talented, passionate and committed person to join our academy as a teacher, initially in KS1.

If you are looking for a change of scenery and the opportunity to lead a subject in a school that will have impact for all pupils, we may have what you are looking for. As a teacher in KS1 (initially) you will be flexible and open to change… whilst we take year group preferences into account each year, we believe that it is important to keep learning and developing across the primary phase.

Ideally we are looking for someone with a few years of experience under their belt, who we hope will come with strong ideas…we are welcoming of initiatives that will help us to build on our successes and work on our next steps. We aren’t your ‘typical’ school and you are encouraged to visit us to see why!

What the school offers its staff

In any role at Oakfield, we look for, nurture, value and expect…

• Resilience – Bouncing back when things are challenging. Learning from mistakes to make it even better next time.

• Creativity – Thinking of new ideas that have value. Using initiative, experimenting, taking risks, innovating, making links and problem solving.

• Self Management – Planning & prioritising, being organised, taking responsibility and developing confidence.

• Collaboration - Working effectively a team through sharing, agreeing & debating, talking & listening, contributing & team work.

• Empathy – Understanding others through being compassionate, not judging but supporting all.

• Curiosity- Taking an interest, asking questions, inspiring & enquiring, listening and explaining.

• Reflection – Thinking deeply, reviewing and improving through the setting of targets, evaluating & analysing our learning

We recognise that this role isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve made it this far and you’re still reading, we’d love to hear from you.

• We have biscuits in the tin, coffee in the pot and the occasional cake or two on the staff room table!

• A commitment to ensuring a strong work-life balance (including flexible working initiatives PPA)

• A lively “work-hard - play hard” talented team

• Supportive and active leaders - including the governing body - with high expectations but warm approach.

• A very supportive PTA

• Talented children that deserve you!

We want to hear from you if you believe that you have the skills and experience to make your mark, but most importantly, to make a difference.
