We are seeking a high-quality class teacher to join our fantastic, highly motivated team. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who shares our passion for putting children first and who thrives in a supportive, collaborative environment.

At Penns, we have high expectations—and our children reward us by giving their very best. We nurture and challenge every pupil, ensuring they feel respected, listened to, and safe. Our aim is for children to leave us oozing with confidence, with a lifelong love of learning and a healthy respect for themselves and others.

We live by our values of being SMART: Safe, Mindful, Accepting, Resilient, and Together. We go above and beyond for our school community, and while we don't always get it right, we are committed to learning and improving.

If you are an enthusiastic teacher who wants to make a real difference within a caring, ambitious team, we would love to hear from you.
