About the role
We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Primary Teacher to lead a mixed-age class of EYFS and Year 1 pupils. You will provide high-quality teaching and learning experiences that nurture curiosity, build foundational skills, and ensure every child makes progress in line with their developmental stage. Working as part of a committed team, you will foster a stimulating and inclusive environment where children feel safe, confident, and inspired to achieve their full potential. Alongside classroom teaching, you will contribute to the wider strategic direction of the school and play an active role in delivering our Trust’s ambition of providing a great education for every child.
About you
You are an enthusiastic and adaptable teacher with a strong knowledge of the National Curriculum and EYFS and KS1 framework. ICT proficient and agile in your approach, you thrive in dynamic environments and can tailor your teaching to meet the diverse needs of young learners. Personable and approachable, you build effective relationships with colleagues, parents, and pupils alike. As a positive role model, you set high standards of punctuality and behaviour, consistently implementing school policies while creating a safe, supportive, and engaging classroom. Experience of working with pupils with SEND is preferable as our school has higher than the national percentage of pupils with SEND. Above all, you are committed to helping children enjoy learning, grow in confidence, and develop as caring, responsible citizens.
Why join us?
Tortworth Primary School is a small school with a big heart and is part of CSET, a family of schools with a shared ambition to provide ‘a great education for every child’ . The rural setting means the school is lucky to have extensive outdoor space, including a large forest school area which staff and children love using to enhance learning; a school field and access to another large field; a peace garden and an area with wooden play equipment. The school is currently split into three classes and also has a separate library and hall. Tortworth aims to develop the family feel that can be fostered in a small-school community by challenging all children to reach their potential, encouraging kindness and inclusion and recognising each child’s unique talents. Our Headteacher leads both Charfield and Tortworth Primary Schools, and while your main base will be Tortworth, on occasion you may be asked to support at Charfield. This collaborative approach allows staff to share expertise and strengthen provision across both schools.
We can offer you:
- A commitment to CPD and development of all staff, including collaborative support within the school and the Trust to allow all staff to thrive
- a fantastic opportunity to develop your career in a growing school.
- an ethos which embraces diversity, equity and inclusion
- A clear curriculum vision and focus on evidence-based practice
- Commitment to inclusivity and fostering of diversity
- Values, ethos and vision that are lived
- An open and honest culture
- Up to 30% discount with Microsoft & Dell
- Discounted gym membership
- Life Assurance - 3 x Death in Service
- Cycle to work scheme
- Dedicated counselling service
- Flu Voucher
