What skills and experience we're looking for
We are a welcoming, inclusive and forward looking academy that works hard to ensure all our wonderful children enjoy their time with us.
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, creative and highly skilled teacher who will join an existing strong team and help us provide the best education and experience possible for our fantastic pupils.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work alongside a large year group team (each of our four year groups has three or four classes) as part of our dedicated, supportive and caring wider team of staff. You will plan collaboratively and deliver an exciting curriculum to the children in your class.
Ideally, we would like the successful candidate to have experience of teaching within Key Stage Two and delivering a cross curricula approach but more than anything, we want someone who is willing to give their best and learn alongside us all. It is essential that you can engage and motivate young people and, through your efforts, ensure they achieve high standards in all areas of learning and behaviour. We need a team player who can proactively contribute to the further development of our school.

- Positive – has the ability to inspire, challenge, motivate and empower others
- Compassionate - demonstrates respect and kindness to pupils, staff and other stakeholders
- Collaborate - values the importance of a strong team and work hard to develop strong professional relationships with others
- Dedicated – shows self-motivation and a commitment to continued professional development
- Someone able to build effective, strong working relationships with others and who leads by example
Culture and ethos:
- Proactively promote and demonstrate the Diocese’s vision and values in all aspects of work
- Challenge, motivate and empower others to set high aspirations and attain ambitious outcomes
