An exciting opportunity has arisen for an individual to join The Merton Primary School as a KS2 Classroom Teacher on a fixed term until the end of the Autumn term 2025. The Merton Primary School is a fantastic place to work where we will aim to Make a Difference to the lives of our children across school. We are looking for someone who has the passion and enthusiasm for teaching and learning with the commitment to go the extra mile for all children and ‘Make a Difference’. The successful candidate will be a team player with a flexible mindset, with the dedication to the achievement of all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils. The role of Classroom Teacher is a rewarding one with the opportunity for professional autonomy within the role to create the classroom environment that enables development.
This is an excellent time to join Bradgate Education Partnership, working at The Merton Primary School, as we continue to work collaboratively to deliver a high quality education and meaningful experiences to our children and young people. Everyone has a significant part to play and you can find out more about working for the Trust by taking a look at our Candidate Information Pack.
The ideal candidate will:
• Hold QTS status
• Possess the ability to teach high quality lessons and consistently provide learning opportunities that progress pupils’ learning and achievements
• Be an excellent communicator and able to build positive working relationships with pupils, parents/carers and stakeholders
• Be a team player- whilst it is important as a Classroom Teacher to work independently, there are regular points of the working day and week where working alongside support staff and other teaching colleagues is vital, therefore working as part of a team that is supportive and effective is paramount to the role.
In return we offer:
• Opportunities to work across the partnership, developing your skills and expertise
• The opportunity to collaborate with colleagues and share knowledge and resources
• Access to our professional networks and professional development programmes
• Access to our Bradgate Benefits package (see Candidate Information Pack).
