What skills and experience we're looking for

We have the opportunity to restructure our teaching provision in Key Stage 2 and are looking for the right candidate to join our team. Strengh in STEM would be advantageous although not compulsory. Applications are welcome from experienced teachers as well as those new to the career.

We would encourage you to read our Ofsted report from 2024 as this provides a clear picture of our school, our vision and our passion.

The successful candidate will be:

  • An excellent, dynamic and inclusive classroom teacher.
  • Able to plan for and assess children’s learning effectively.

  • Prepared to take an active role in the life of the school.
  • Able to work as part of a team and willing to go the extra mile!
  • Fun loving and have a sense of humour.


What the school offers its staff

We are looking to appoint a creative and outstanding practitioner for either our Year 3/4 or Year 5/6 Class. Our class sizes are smaller than average which offers the opportunity to develop wonderful teaching relationships with the children and help to fully support and develop learning. This is a full time teaching position (4 days considered), on offer as a permanent contract from September 2026.

Heddington CE VA Primary School must be seen to be fully appreciated. We are an oversubscribed maintained school with 75 children on roll, working closely with the LA and local schools. Situated a couple of miles from Calne, we boast wonderful grounds and surrounding area. We are a caring and dedicated team who are committed to delivering a high standard of education, inclusivity and social development for all of our pupils within a supportive Christian environment. Everything we do is for the benefit of the children.

Why choose Heddington?

We are proud to be a maintained school and enjoy working closely with the LA and the Calne cluster of schools. By working together, we can help strengthen not only our school but the wider community.

You could be joining a dedicated and experienced family of staff who share in the same vision; to offer quality and inclusive education to all. Teaching isn’t an easy profession, however, at Heddington, staff are empowered and dedicated to our whole community. We offer very generous release time to help support work life balance. As Ofsted said, ‘staff are extremely proud to work at the school’.

You could be part of our team! Every day is different and rewarding in so many ways. Help us to continue to shape Heddington and strive to be the best we can.

If you think you have what it takes, please get in touch!
