Key Stage 2 Teacher job summary

The Wensum Trust is seeking to appoint an experienced and dedicated Key Stage 2 Teacher to join our passionate team at Wells-next-the-sea Primary and Nursery School. We are looking for a motivated professional who will help deliver our vision: "Anchored in the community, A place to belong, a world to explore." This full-time position offers the unique opportunity to teach in a school where the curriculum is deeply connected to our beautiful North Norfolk coastal location, utilising the local landscape—from the historic quay to the unique salt marshes—as a living classroom to inspire independence and high aspirations in our pupils.

The successful candidate will be a relational and reflective practitioner responsible for the day-to-day management of a Key Stage 2 class. You will be expected to create a caring, purposeful, and stimulating environment, while ensuring the highest standards of safety and welfare for all children. We are looking for a Qualified Teacher who has a proven track record in Key Stage 2 and the ability to adapt teaching for a wide range of needs. Experience in curriculum development or leading a subject across the primary phase is highly desirable, as is a strong understanding of adaptive teaching and the ability to collaborate effectively with parents, staff, and external professionals.

As part of The Wensum Trust, we believe that our shared duty is to help every child to develop into high achieving, confident, healthy, caring and resilient members of their family and community. We want our schools to be healthy environments where both children and staff can develop and where strong, positive relationships are key. Our school, therefore, practices a relational approach with children, our families and our communities. We are particularly interested in working with people who share Our Qualities; who will work effectively and flexibly as part of a team.

Being a part of The Wensum Trust’s family of schools offers employees unique experiences to work alongside our strategic partners and to collaborate with a wider network of staff. We believe in investing in employees as individuals, by providing training opportunities that help to develop both existing and new skill sets, to encourage career progression at all levels.

We value our staff and are committed to supporting their wellbeing. We have an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which all staff can access 24 hours a day. The EAP provides counselling services, legal information and guidance, musculoskeletal services and online resources such as nutrition diaries, healthy eating plans, personal coaching questionnaires and tools and fitness programmes.

We care about bringing together the most able people, to help us achieve our vision of providing a rounded education for children, quality support for their families and opportunities to enrich our communities.
