Willow Grove Primary School is a new four-form entry school for children aged 4 to 11 that opened in September 2024. Due to a decision to expand the teaching team, there is now an exciting opportunity for an excellent practitioner to join the Trust as a KS1 class teacher at the school in Wixams, Bedfordshire. The vision for the school is to become a Centre of Excellence for the Arts and to provide first class academic and personal development opportunities for all in the school community.

Eventually there will be 840 pupils in the school, although it has initially opened with pupils in Foundation and Years 1 and 2 so we are looking for a teacher with KS1 experience in this instance.

Part of the Kingsbridge Educational Trust, this is an outstanding and rare opportunity for an excellent practitioner to play a key role in the development and growth of this exciting new school from its very early stages. You will need to understand the unique position of working in a new school and be flexible enough to thrive in an ever-changing environment as the school grows over its first few years.

We are looking for a dedicated, dynamic and creative colleague committed to team-working and developing excellence for our pupils. Excellent conditions of service will be offered.

The successful candidate will:

  • Have a proven track record of excellent teaching;
  • Have high expectations of our children in all aspects of school life;
  • Have the ability to forge and maintain positive working relationships with children and their families;
  • Be ambitious for themselves and the school;
  • Be supportive of the school’s vision to be a centre of excellence for the Arts
