We are looking for a teacher who is:

  • Creative, imaginative and passionate about all children having high quality learning experiences across the curriculum
  • Forward-thinking, positive, energetic, reflective and highly motivated
  • Committed to raising standards and working effectively alongside senior leaders to drive whole-school improvement
  • Actively supportive of the school’s drive to encourage positive mental health and well-being
  • Able to demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Committed to working in partnership with our families.

In return we can offer you:

  • A strong and positive commitment to on-going professional development
  • Support from all levels within the staff team and governing body
  • A small school feel with a hardworking and dedicated team who are well-motivated to do their best for our children

We are seeking to appoint a strong KS1 teacher to join the Maun team from January 2023, and are keen to appoint the right person to share their skills within our supportive team and successful school. We would welcome applications from both experienced teachers and ECTs with proven capability in teaching Key Stage 1. Successful teaching experience in Year 2 would also be of particular interest to us. The successful candidate will be someone who shares our passion for learning breadth and who can plan creatively to ensure this is prioritised alongside development of core basic skills. They will also recognise the importance of promoting positive mental health and will actively support our whole school well-being drive, including through effective modelling within their own behaviours.

Our skilled Maun Staff Team offers the capacity to give strong support to the successful candidate, whether an ECT or an experienced teacher looking for a new challenge in a different school. Curriculum leadership responsibilities will form part of the role as appropriate to the career stage of the successful candidate and will be agreed according to strengths and experience, though a particular interest in Science and DT would be of particular interest to us.

Maun Infant and Nursery School is situated in New Ollerton, an ex-mining village just 3 miles from the legendary Sherwood Forest. It is a mixed area though some aspects of social deprivation do exist. The school was built in the 1970s and was largely open plan until 2019, when a building project modernised the internal school layout with walls and doors to separate classrooms throughout KS1, and to more clearly define shared areas.

There are currently four classes in Key Stage 1: two Year 1 and two Year 2. Our two F2 classes are housed within the main school building, sharing their space for free-flow indoor and outdoor activities as part of the Early Years Curriculum. Maun Nursery occupies a separate building and outdoor play area, with up to 39 children in each morning and afternoon session. Across the school, the learning environment is welcoming and celebratory of our children’s achievements.

The Maun team is a strong and creative one; we all work well together and are committed to promoting the strong school ethos. Through our school motto ‘Reach for the Stars’, we encourage our children to be aspirational, and take every opportunity to develop their knowledge of the world and the possibilities open to them. We also work collaboratively with the families of our pupils and see this as crucial in helping children to maximise their life chances. Connecting with people and building strong relationships is a real passion and strength of the school.

Our curriculum enables active learning which is well-matched to the interests and needs of our children, whilst making good use of our fabulous grounds. Our drive for excellence has seen us regularly updating our curriculum, to make the most of local learning opportunities and to meet the needs of our community. We keenly recognise the value in learning breadth, especially in areas such as art, music, dance and drama to positively enhance curriculum learning and promote positive mental health and wellbeing amongst our pupils.

At the end of Key Stage 1, pupils transfer to The Forest View Academy, the Key Stage 2 school which shares our site. We are involved in on-going, close partnership work with our KS2 colleagues to ensure an effective transition programme is in place.

In the autumn term 2024, we plan to become the eighth academy in The Forge Multi-Academy Trust and are already working within this collaborative team.
