About this Role

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic class teacher, who would like to join our team and our fantastic children on their learning journey.

Sutton-at-Hone school is a strong community. During our most recent SIAMS inspection, the sense of community was celebrated: "The school’s Christian vision is all encompassing. It is inclusive and serves each adult and pupil exceptionally well. The school community is enabled to flourish."

As a Church school we live by our Christian vision. "The school’s Christian vision is transformational and underpins everything the school does. School leaders, governors and trust leaders are committed to ensuring that ‘no child is left behind’. They have made bold decisions to ensure that the vision specifically serves its community well, with equity at the core."

The quality of teaching is fundamental to the success of our school and you will be joining a well-established and committed team.
