Due to the promotion of one of our SLT team, an exciting opportunity has arisen at St Wilfrid’s C of E Primary School for a passionate and ambitious teacher to join our team as a Year 6 Teacher with responsibility for KS2 Phase Leadership (initially UKS2) and either English or Maths across the school.

This role presents a unique opportunity to join St Wilfrid’s at an exciting stage in its development.
