JOB TITLE: Primary Teacher (Full Time)

BASED AT: Castle Newnham (South Site/North Site)

SALARY/GRADE: MPS

RESPONSIBLE TO: Headteacher - Primary

The formative years of BEST have been a real success story – and we are looking forward to an exciting future, too. The Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST) is a multi-academy trust providing exceptional education across our community of 11 schools and five nurseries. Since forming in 2016, we have grown significantly into one of the largest trusts in the county. We now educate 8,000 children across the area, from nursery age to advanced level study, and have over 1,000 members of staff. It is our aim to grow the BEST in everyone, and everything we do is driven by our values.

We are currently seeking one full time Primary class teacher to join our team from April 2025. The teaching commitment will be in Year 3 for the remainder of the school year in the first instance, with the possibility of an internal promotion to middle leadership from September 2025.

We seek a teacher who will enthuse pupils to learn with a combination of great subject knowledge, energy, dedication and warmth of approach. We are forward looking in that we embrace innovation and research-based practice with a strong emphasis on training and development and would welcome applications from colleagues with a similarly outward-looking approach. The role will involve working collaboratively and enthusiastically as part of the extremely supportive team.

As well as a supportive team and strong professional development Castle Newnham offers:

• well-behaved, happy, confident and enthusiastic pupils who are keen to learn;

• a school highly valued and supported by parents and the community;

• a nurturing, enthusiastic and committed staff, who can rise to a challenge;

• great opportunities to make your mark and to be part of something exciting and unique
