What skills and experience we're looking for

Could you bring your experience, energy and ideas to a school where relationships really matter?

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic teacher to join our team and teach in Key Stage 1 for two days each week.

At Meldreth, we are ambitious for every child. We are a welcoming village school with a strong sense of community, high expectations and a genuine commitment to inclusion. We want our children to be excited by learning, confident in themselves and equipped with the skills they need to flourish.

What the school offers its staff

We are looking for someone who will bring:

• Strong classroom practice and a secure understanding of how young children learn
• High expectations alongside warmth, patience and excellent relationships
• A commitment to inclusive and adaptive teaching, ensuring every child can succeed
• A reflective approach and a willingness to share ideas and learn alongside colleagues
• The energy and enthusiasm to make a positive contribution to our school beyond their own classroom

In return, you will be part of a supportive, collaborative and forward-thinking team where professional expertise is valued and there is genuine opportunity to contribute to school improvement.

Our motto is “learning together for life” – and that applies to our adults as much as our children.

If you are an experienced teacher looking for a part-time role where you can make a real difference, we would love to welcome you to Meldreth and show you what makes our school special.

Meldreth is a warm, caring and compassionate school, where the staff and the governors work together to create a happy, secure and stimulating environment for our children. We want every child to succeed and we aim to ensure that we give our children the opportunities to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding of the world in a friendly, supportive and caring environment. We pride ourselves on listening to the children's views and developing their ideas with them to build an inclusive and happy school.


We believe that parents and teachers are partners in the process of education and that such a partnership is crucial to the development of the whole child. We endeavour to prepare every child for their future so that they make a positive contribution to the environment, the community and to society. 


Giving every child the chance to learn within a widely enriched curriculum is a high priority for us, and we strive for high academic standards; however, Meldreth Primary is about so much more than this. It is about giving every child the opportunity to shine and have their interests developed; it is about giving everyone the chance to aspire and be proud of their achievements, no matter how great or small. It is about giving children the confidence to have a go and giving them the opportunity to try out new things. It is about tolerance and respect for beliefs of others and taking joy and pleasure from what others do well. Most importantly, it is about making happy memories of school life that will be carried forward into adult life and indeed beyond.
