CCJ is ready to appoint a highly motivated and creative teacher with excellent subject knowledge to join our strong team from September for maternity cover. The post will be based in a KS2 class, working alongside our existing strong and experienced teaching team. ECTs with some experience of working in KS2 are welcome to apply.
We are a vibrant school within a brilliant community of parents, children and teachers and are looking for someone who can share in and promote our strong ethos and values.

We try to provide for the whole child and promote a love of questioning and reflective thinking in line with our growth mindset focus. A fresh approach to pedagogy with a passion for teaching is vital.
We are looking for someone that is…
