What are we looking for?

Are you an enthusiastic, creative teacher who believes learning should inspire, challenge and nurture every child?

We are looking for an enthusiastic full time Year 1 teacher to join our dedicated and supportive team. Working closely with our Head of School and friendly team to provide a consistent, nurturing and engaging learning experience for every child.

What makes St Peter’s Special?

At St Peter’s, we believe learning should be purposeful, engaging and full of opportunities to explore, discover and achieve. We want our children to develop a genuine love of learning through creative teaching, rich experiences, high-quality texts and meaningful cross-curricular links. We value teachers who bring learning to life and who are confident in using creative approaches to ensure all pupils thrive.

We recognise that Year 1 is an important stage in a child’s education, as they build on their experiences in the Early Years Foundation Stage and develop the foundations for future learning. We are looking for a teacher who can make this transition positive and successful, balancing high-quality teaching with the care, flexibility and understanding that young learners need.

We are committed to:

• Setting high expectations and ensuring every child is supported to achieve their best.
• Creating an inclusive classroom where all children feel valued and barriers to learning are removed.
• Developing curiosity, independence, positive attitudes and resilience.
• Providing a broad, balanced and creative curriculum that nurtures the whole child.
• Building strong, positive partnerships with families and our local community.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is an excellent classroom practitioner with high expectations for all learners
• Has a creative approach to teaching and curriculum design
• Is committed to inclusion and adaptive teaching
• Builds positive relationships based on honesty, kindness and respect
• Is reflective, proactive and committed to ongoing professional development
• Will contribute fully to the life and ethos of our Church school

The successful candidate will:

• Be an enthusiastic and skilled classroom practitioner who is passionate about helping young children learn and succeed.
• Have high expectations for all pupils and a strong understanding of how children learn and develop.
• Create a stimulating, creative and well-organised classroom where children feel confident to explore, take risks and challenge themselves.
• Use adaptive teaching and inclusive strategies to meet the diverse needs of all learners.
• Build positive, trusting relationships with children, colleagues and families, reflecting our values of honesty, kindness and respect.
• Be reflective, proactive and committed to their own professional learning and development.
• Embrace the Christian ethos of our school and contribute positively to the wider life of the school community.

What can we offer you?

• Enthusiastic pupils who are eager to learn and achieve.
• A welcoming, friendly and collaborative staff team.
•  A supportive leadership team that values professional development and staff wellbeing.
• Opportunities to share ideas, develop creative approaches to learning and contribute to curriculum development.
• The opportunity to work collaboratively with colleagues across the Eden Federation, sharing expertise and developing best practice.

Please note this role is suited to a teacher who has completed their ECT years.

If you are passionate about making a difference and want to work in a school where creativity, care and high expectations sit at the heart of everything we do, we would love to hear from you.

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and encouraged. We would be delighted to show you what makes St Peter’s such a special place to learn and work. Please contact the school office to book an appointment or contact the Head of School Mrs Fiona Flavell on 01603 880553 or email on officeeaston@trinity.dneat.org
