Classroom Teacher job summary

The Governors of Keyworth Primary and Nursery School (KPNS) are seeking a dedicated and passionate teacher to join our team. We are looking for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and is eager to contribute to the wider life of the school. We are looking for a Class Teacher, most likely in lower Key Stage 2, though there is flexibility to place the right candidate in Key Stage 1. We welcome applications from experienced and recently qualified teachers.

At KPNS, we take great pride in our positive ethos and enjoy strong support from our school community. We offer a highly supportive environment, working alongside a skilled, motivated, and friendly staff team. Further professional development opportunities are available through Equals Trust, and we collaborate closely with Crossdale Primary School.

Staff well-being is a priority—we recognise that every team member is a person first, with commitments and responsibilities beyond the classroom.

Why Join Us?

Following OFSTED’s visit in March 2025, here’s what they had to say about our supportive and inspiring school environment:

✔ Commitment to Professional Growth – “Teachers receive high-quality professional development, ensuring they continue to refine their teaching skills.”

✔ A Culture of Collaboration – “Staff work together effectively, creating a school community that is both nurturing and ambitious.”

✔ Strong Leadership & Support – “Senior leaders are ambitious and committed to improving outcomes for all pupils. Their high expectations are shared by the whole staff team.”

✔ A Positive & Inclusive Environment – “The school fosters a warm, inclusive environment where positive relationships flourish between staff and pupils.”

✔ Well-Being & Workload Balance – “Leaders ensure that staff workload is manageable, allowing them to focus on delivering high-quality teaching.”

✔ Empowered & Equipped Staff – “Teachers are given the tools and training to deliver an ambitious curriculum effectively.”

If you’re looking to join a supportive and forward-thinking team that values both professional excellence and well-being, we’d love to hear from you

Along with your application please upload a covering letter. Your covering letter should be 700-1000 words and should clearly state why you are the right person to join our team – this candidate pack will give you a strong idea of the type of teacher our children need. A visit to the school would give you further information to support your application.

We strongly encourage potential applicants to visit us, which can be arranged via email at schooloffice@keyworth.notts.sch.uk or by calling 0115 9748005.
