St Mary's Banbury is looking for an experienced KS2 teacher to join the team from September 2025.
This is a permanent, full time post due to the relocation of a current team member and is suitable for an established teacher who really wants a new challenge, fresh opportunity and to make professional connections that will last, as well as work in a compassionate, exciting, creative and diverse school at the heart of Banbury.
As a member of an ODST school, you will have outstanding professional development opportunities, including leadership development if you are inspired to be one of our amazing school leaders. You will have the opportunity to grow and develop your subject and professional interests and to work collaboratively within our team across our partner school, Wroxton, and within the Trust.
St Mary's is the oldest school in Banbury, at the heart of the town, serving a highly diverse and culturally mixed community from across all local areas. With a flourishing Nursery and one form entry, we ensure children learn from their individual starting points with a highly inclusive philosophy ensuring every child gets what they need, when they need it.
Driven by our Vision to 'Learn, Transform and Grow', our curriculum is carefully organised to develop children's language and reading skills and ensure that mathematical development has an equally high priority. Foundation subjects are taught creatively, with children engaging in a high level of educational and cultural visits, events and activities and enabling learning to be a lived experience which they love to share with each other, their families and our community.
Specialist sport and music provision is further enhanced with Commando Joe's character education and our playtimes are the best! St Mary's is the proud holder of an OPAL Platinum Award for play, making our playtimes irresistible and some of the best anywhere! Our well established breakfast and after school clubs, provide support for working families as well as many children who love to stay and enjoy even more time in school. The children know they are loved and cared for with compassion and our wonderful support team help them and all our teachers to meet the needs of all, so that everyone is included to take a full and active part in school life.
Our teachers plan in teams, sharing the workload and having joint PPA whenever possible. Our wellbeing is a priority and this is a team that looks after each other and has fun together just as much as it is committed to great outcomes for the children.
We work with our sister school, Wroxton Primary School, in an Executive partnership which gives exciting opportunities to work with colleagues in a much smaller, rural location five minutes away and to further enhance and grow our professional network and skills.
Supported by a deeply committed school leadership team, active local Governors and ODST this is an opportunity for an ambitious, positive and exciting teacher to make a difference in the lives of a wide range of children.

We are aware of the challenges of timing for this advert, with SAT's, half term and 31st May looming. Online meetings can be arranged with Victoria Woods, The Executive Headteacher, outside the school day if this is easier logistically for prospective candidates.
You are also warmly invited to come and meet us and have a look around our school in person.
