We are looking for an aspirational, enthusiastic, talented and creative class teacher to join our friendly and committed team at St John’s Primary School in Wallingford.

We are a one-form entry primary school based in the heart of the beautiful market town of Wallingford. Our children are hard-working, well behaved, kind and polite and we are committed to providing them with an outstanding education; one which enables them to be happy, healthy, informed individuals, who are proud to be part of our local community and to achieve academic success. We are lucky to have a supportive parent body and efficient and committed Governors.

We work collaboratively with other local schools, both primary and secondary, so that despite being a small school, our outlook is wide and our ambition for our children and staff is unbridled.

We can also offer a staff team (who are a joy to work with) researched based CPD and a healthy respect for work-life balance.

We would welcome applications for this post from both experienced teachers and ECTs and would consider part- and full-time applications.

Further information about the job
