Primary Teacher - Maternity Cover job summary

Avonwood Primary School is a standalone primary school for children aged 4-11 based in East Bournemouth in the picturesque county of Dorset. We share close links with Avonbourne Boys’ and Girls’ Academies, two 11-16 secondary schools and United Sixth Form, based next door to Avonwood.

Avonwood first opened its doors in September 2014 when we welcomed two classes of Foundation Stage children. In September 2015 we moved into our purpose-built brand-new school. Having grown organically year on year we now have classes in every year group. Having opened with just 42 children we now have 570. This rapid growth makes Avonwood a unique and exciting opportunity for any prospective staff looking to play a key role in the continuous development of our school.

We are exceptionally fortunate to have access to outstanding facilities including our own science laboratory, computer science suite, purpose-built stage and large outdoor
learning space. We also benefit from access to wider facilities at Avonbourne Boys’ and Girls’ Academies including design technology labs, art studios, large sports pitches and a full-size climbing wall.

Avonwood is an oversubscribed, highly popular school with an already impressive reputation. Our ambition is to be the school of choice for local families, providing an excellent education by inspiring wonder and intellectual curiosity through a genuine love of learning.

Our educational philosophy is that school should cultivate the imagination, provoke intellectual curiosity and develop social responsibility. This is achieved through the ongoing development and delivery of a knowledge-rich curriculum.

We are #TeamAvonwood and look forward to showing you around our school.
