Dear applicant,

Firstly, on behalf of all the children, staff and Governors I would like to say thank you for expressing interest in the post of Year 1/2 Class Teacher at St Martin’s. In so many ways this is a career enhancing post and being a teacher in our 1 and half form entry Primary will be challenging, rewarding and above all provide you with the experience to further your career in today’s ever changing education world.

I was delighted to be appointed Headteacher at St Martin’s in April 2017 and I clearly remember visiting and thinking this is a bit like a ‘sleeping giant’ – so much potential and with all the right elements to be a really great school.

Fast forward to 2020 and the sleeping giant has been awakened. Our school outcomes have improved, we have overhauled our approach to spelling, reinforced the way Maths is taught and become a really outward facing school. Our children have impeccable behaviour and beautiful manners and are a credit to our families. I continue to be wowed by the pupil’s patience, tolerance, resilience and the respectfulness they show to each other, the staff and visitors – and I am sure you will when you visit us!

As a staff team we are dedicated and hardworking, and are always celebrating the achievements of all. The governing body are focused, strategic and challenging and want nothing less than the best for our children.

As a teaching professional joining us you can expect to be given the encouragement, space and tailored professional learning journey as you join us as our new Class Teacher.

We welcome visitors and hope that you will come and see for yourself the huge changes which have happened at St Martin’s which make us the school of choice across our local area.

Good luck with your application.
