PPA Teacher job summary

We are looking for an exceptional teacher to provide PPA cover across the school on Monday to Thursday afternoons starting Autumn term 2025

11 hours (including one hour paid PPA), Monday to Thursday, 1.10pm to 3.40pm

At present we teach Spanish in these sessions and ideally, we would like to continue with this, however we are open to individuals who have strengths in other areas of the wider curriculum, for example music and the arts. It is more important to us to recruit someone with strong teaching and behaviour management skills along with the willingness to teach a wider curriculum subject rather than being an ‘expert’ in a subject area. Please state in your letter of application what your curriculum strengths are.

High expectations and a good sense of humour along with excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team are essential elements of the post. You will be committed to offering the best opportunities for the young people in our school.

Arno Vale Junior School is situated in Woodthorpe, a pleasant residential area on the northern outskirts of Nottingham. The school is an exciting place to work. We are culturally diverse and have a well-deserved reputation for the inclusion of vulnerable pupils. Parents take a close and supportive interest in their children’s education. Arno Vale is proud of its extra-curricular activities, its academic achievement, and its reputation as an inclusive and caring school. This was confirmed in May 2024 when Ofsted found that ‘Pupils are kind, polite, and respectful’ and ‘the school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve well’ resulting in an overall judgement of ‘Good’. We can offer you well-behaved and motivated pupils, CPD opportunities and a highly committed staff who have a variety of skills and interests.

Visits to the school are actively encouraged.
