We are looking for an excellent KS2 teacher for Year 6 to join our school from September 2026.  

Just over 30 minutes of picturesque driving from Norwich and Great Yarmouth (travelling in the opposite direction to most cars!) is AIM Federation - an established federation of six schools and an SEMH Base located along the beautiful North Norfolk Coast and the Norfolk Broads.  

Not only will you be joining a dedicated and hardworking team at Freethorpe Primary, you’ll be collaborating with a wider team of around 130 staff in total, across the six schools, working together and striving to deliver the very best education for our local communities.

One of our Deputy Executive Heads is responsible for Learning, Standards and CPD across the six schools, and for the development of our curriculum alongside our subject leaders. They take time to research into the latest and most effective pedagogies which develop our forward thinking curriculum and staff team. Working in small schools can sometimes feel isolating but at AIM Federation we plan and learn together across the federation. This, amongst other support takes the form of long and medium term planning, highly resourced planning packs to support short term planning and reduce teacher’s workload allowing more time to concentrate on innovative teaching. We also used this joined-up approach to assess and moderate children’s work, allowing us to all learn and improve our practice together.

You will be able to take advantage of our CPD Portal which is a bespoke set of training and CPD helping us all to improve our practice. Our Training Suite used for all off-site training is based at Horning Primary, equidistant between our schools. 

We are looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about KS2 education with experience in Year 6
• Dedicated to changing children’s life chances
• Able to work creatively, innovatively and develop pupils’ self-belief
• Able to work flexibly and dynamically
• Committed to listening to children and responding to their individual needs.
• Reflective, with a desire to adapt and innovate their practice as necessary.
