What skills and experience we're looking for
Teacher – Upper KS2, Bowhill Primary School
Every child deserves a teacher who believes in them before they believe in themselves
At Bowhill, we believe great teachers do far more than teach lessons. They inspire confidence. They spark curiosity. They help children discover strengths they never knew they had.
The moments that matter most in education are often the quiet ones. The child who finally puts their hand up. The reluctant learner who begins to believe in themselves. The pupil who feels truly seen, understood and valued.
These moments happen because of exceptional teachers.
Teachers who bring warmth, energy and creativity into the classroom. Teachers who set high expectations whilst showing compassion. Teachers who understand that relationships are at the heart of learning. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
We are looking for someone who:
- believes every child can succeed and thrive
- builds positive, trusting relationships with children and families
- brings enthusiasm, creativity and passion to teaching and learning
- creates engaging learning experiences that inspire curiosity and a love of learning
- has high expectations whilst understanding that every child is unique
- is reflective, ambitious and committed to continual professional growth
- values teamwork, collaboration and shared success
- has a good sense of humour and enjoys being part of a vibrant school community
In this role, you will:
- create a safe, inclusive and inspiring classroom environment
- deliver high-quality teaching that enables every child to make excellent progress
- support children's academic, social and emotional development
- nurture confidence, independence and resilience
- work closely with colleagues to provide exceptional learning experiences
- build strong partnerships with families and the wider school community
- celebrate achievements and help children recognise their own potential
- play an active role in the wider life of the school
What the school offers its staff
Why join Bowhill?
Because relationships matter here.
This is a school where children are encouraged to be themselves, take risks in their learning, and discover what makes them unique.
A school where kindness sits alongside ambition. Where creativity is valued. Where staff support one another and celebrate success together. And it’s not just us that think so… As recognised in our latest Ofsted report, at Bowhill “leaders and teachers have confidence in each other” and “work together to do the best for pupils.”
Most importantly, it's a school where you can make a genuine difference every single day.
If you are passionate about helping children flourish, believe in the power of education to transform lives and want to be part of a school community that genuinely cares, we would love to hear from you.
