About the Role

As a Primary Teacher within the Trust, you will have the privilege of shaping young minds during their most formative years. You will be responsible for planning and delivering high-quality lessons across the primary curriculum, tailored to meet the diverse needs of your class. Beyond academics, you will play a vital pastoral role, promoting the social and emotional well-being of your pupils and building strong partnerships with parents and carers.

• Pastoral Care: Promote the general progress and well-being of individual pupils; provide guidance and advice on educational and social matters, and make records/reports on personal and social needs when appropriate.
• Communication: Communicate and consult effectively with parents/carers, usually in cooperation with senior phase leaders or the Head of Year, and participate in relevant meetings.
• Professional Development: Regularly review your teaching methods and programmes of work, participating fully in INSET, professional development, and the school’s Appraisal and Performance Management framework.
• Environment & Safeguarding: Maintain good order and discipline among pupils, safeguarding their health and safety on school premises and during authorised school activities elsewhere.
• Examinations & Assessment: Participate in arrangements for preparing pupils for public examinations/statutory assessments (e.g., SATs/Phonics Screening), including recording, reporting, and supervising during such assessments.
• Wider Contribution: Contribute to the induction of new teachers and take part in the review, development, and management of the curriculum, organisation, and pastoral functions of the school.
• Administration & Cover: Attend assemblies, register pupil attendance, supervise pupils during breaks when required, and provide cover for absent colleagues as far as is practicable and reasonable.
