About the Role:

We are looking for a Class Teacher who brings strong, proven classroom practice and a commitment to high‑quality teaching and learning. This role is ideal for a teacher who can establish a calm, purposeful and inclusive learning environment, underpinned by clear routines and consistently high expectations.

You will be well supported by senior leaders and colleagues, with regular opportunities for professional dialogue, shared reflection and assessment moderation. We value collaboration and professional trust, ensuring staff feel supported whilst maintaining clear ownership of teaching and learning within their classroom.

A clear understanding of inclusive teaching is essential.

• Create a stimulating and supportive learning environment that fosters children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning
• Use assessment effectively to track progress and provide high‑quality feedback
• Establish and maintain a positive classroom culture rooted in respect, inclusion and excellent behaviour for learning
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to enhance curriculum quality and share best practice

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Has experience of working in Year 6 or upper Key Stage 2 (desirable)
• Has strong, consistent behaviour management and clear classroom routines
• Brings experience, confidence and resilience to the role
• Is passionate about inclusive practice and supporting children with diverse needs
• Makes learning engaging, challenging and meaningful
• Enjoys collaboration and contributes positively to a strong team culture
• Is reflective, values‑driven and committed to making a difference for every child

This role would particularly suit a classroom teacher who enjoys being part of positive change, values teamwork, and wants to have a genuine impact within a supportive school community.

We Can Offer You:

• A strong commitment to our people, underpinned by Flying High’s people principles: adaptability, wellness, recognising achievement, employee voice, professional growth, inclusivity and collaboration
• Access to extensive, high‑quality career‑long professional learning, including opportunities to develop as a leader
• The opportunity to shape practice, contribute to whole‑school priorities and get involved in partnership‑wide initiatives
• Clear opportunities for career progression across the partnership
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme, including counselling, financial and legal support
• A warm, welcoming working environment where staff are supported, valued and work together for the benefit of children
