Job description
With the final phase of growth, we are opening three new classes in our Primary Section. Consequently, we are looking to recruit a number of Primary Teachers. We are fortunate in that our current staff are highly flexible and therefore we can consider applications from KS1 and 2 specialists. These posts would suit either a Newly Qualified Teacher for which a June 2020 start is available, or a more experienced colleague who can start in either April or September 2020. As an ‘all through school’ we are uniquely placed to offer staff opportunities to reskill and therefore these posts are open to KS3/4 specialists who wish to retrain as Primary Section teachers.
