Class Teacher Opportunity at St Bernard’s Catholic Primary School

There is an excellent opportunity awaiting you at St Bernard’s Catholic Primary School!

We are seeking to appoint a motivated, passionate, and reflective teacher to join our thriving school community. The successful candidate will be placed in either Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2, depending on experience and school needs.

On behalf of the Cardinal Newman Catholic Educational Trust, the Principal and Governors of St Bernard’s are looking for someone who is:

  • A team player who builds positive relationships.

  • An exemplary classroom practitioner.

  • Committed to high expectations for all learners.

  • Ready to support and embrace our strong Catholic ethos.


What We Offer:

You will be joining a devoted, warm, and welcoming team, where everyone works together to maintain a vibrant Catholic ethos and nurture every child to achieve their God-given potential.

As recognised in our recent Ofsted inspection:

“The school’s strong culture of care and nurture means pupils feel safe and valued.”
“Pupils enjoy coming to school. They know that staff care about them and will support them with any worries.”

You will benefit from:

  • Supportive leadership from our Principal, CEO, MAT Directors, Governors, and an engaged parent community.

  • A strong commitment to professional development.

  • A culture where kindness, empathy, respect, and high standards underpin all we do.


We Are Looking For:
  • A teacher who inspires a love of learning.

  • Someone committed to excellent outcomes for every child.

  • A professional who is reflective and eager to grow.

  • A person who values and supports our Catholic mission.

We are particularly proud that:

“Pupils behave well and are respectful of others. They are keen to learn and respond well to adults’ high expectations.”

At St Bernard’s, you will find a school where relationships are strong and where staff “care for the children as though they are their own.” Our children arrive smiling, ready to embrace challenges, and treat one another with kindness and respect.

ECT's and RQT's are welcome and actively encouraged to apply.
