Primary Class Teacher (3 Required) job summary
Join The Gatwick School Team!
Due to the growth of the school we are delighted to announce that we are now recruiting for the following position for September 2019:
Primary – Class Teacher
Our pupils, parents, staff and Governors have established a successful, popular and highly aspirational all through (age 4-16) school. We have sky-high expectations of our children and staff. Working together, we will produce well-rounded, open-minded adults with a zest for learning and life.
Our pupils come from diverse backgrounds and have a variety of talents, goals and needs. We will look to you to set appropriate and demanding expectations of every pupil, identify SEN or very able pupils, maintain pace, motivation and consistently challenge in order for all pupils to make the maximum progress.
Our teachers maintain the expected disciplines of punctuality, behaviour, standards of work and homework. Every day, they use effective questioning, listen to pupils, select appropriate resources and evaluate their own teaching to ensure best practice. They know their children, subjects and specialisms, they know how to set a good example and they know that every child is at the heart of what we do at The Gatwick School.
We are looking to recruit teachers who have as a minimum a degree, QTS or equivalent. You’ll need the academic rigour and life skills to deliver but also to inspire our young minds.
For more information please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification. Should you wish to visit the school, please call us on 01293 538779 and speak to Sonia Mitchinson who can arrange this with you.
The Gatwick School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Any successful applicant will be required to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure check by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
Commitment to safeguarding
Our whole school approach to safeguarding is based upon an understanding of the local context and an attitude of ‘it could happen here’. The Gatwick School uses the 3 ‘C’s’ – Character, Culture and Currency to promote our inclusive ethos, including our approach to safeguarding.
Our pupils’ welfare is our paramount concern. Our school is a community and all those directly connected, staff, volunteers, IEB members, parents, families and pupils, have an essential role to play in making it safe and secure.

The Gatwick School has been set up to establish an All-through school for children aged 4 to 16.
All-through state schools are rare but we feel that it is precisely what gives The Gatwick School a unique place in the local provision for schools.
Here are some of the reasons why we think an all-through education is so valuable and why we think it provides an exciting opportunity for our children:
It removes the well-researched performance ‘dip’ at age 11
It removes the learning barriers and age-old fears that many children face as they leave primary school and make the transition to a secondary school
It enables primary aged children to benefit from having some specialist teaching at an early age, which means that gifted and talented children will be challenged and stretched
It enables some children to benefit by having more time to develop their skills
It enables older children to have the opportunity to develop leadership skills by mentoring younger children (which in turn promotes a healthy and positive school climate)
Older And Younger Children Working Together
Since we have been open, it has been special to see so many and varied interactions which have led to very positive relationships being forged between our Primary and Secondary pupils.
House competitions provide opportunities for older pupils to support our younger pupils. Our primary phase sports days are run by teachers and our pupil leaders
Secondary pupils regularly visit Primary classes during special school events and drop down activities. This has inspired our Primary children to demonstrate greater confidence in reading and oral expression
