This is a unique and rare opportunity that we are proud to offer, not only to a passionate candidate, but for our pupils too.

Great Addington C of E Primary is a vibrant and popular school, with committed staff, governors and children. We have an enviable reputation as being the ‘small school’ that gives its children ‘so much.’ We aim to build upon the school's strengths and become an outstanding centre for learning within the community. Our vision for achieving this is through high quality teaching and learning with a commitment to valuing potential in all members of the GA community.
Striving to unlock the talents of all our pupils, we continually challenge them to achieve their best and develop the skills for a lifelong love of learning. It is only through challenge that students truly discover what they are capable of. No matter where we start in life, we recognise that all have the potential to achieve and at Great Addington Primary, we strive to ensure that they do.
We now have a fantastic opportunity for a passionate, enthusiastic and committed Music Teacher to join our team. This role is incredibly rewarding, and the successful candidate will share our goal, to ensure all children receive the support they need to flourish.
At Great Addington, we have recently undergone extensive site works, now offering a modern working environment for staff and children alike, that retains its special magic. Following a successful Ofsted inspection in March 2023, parents and carers could not speak more highly of our school, with one parent, typical of many, commenting ‘The staff and school are wonderful, and everyone contributes to the community feel of this school.’ Staff ensure that they check of pupil’s well-being every morning and pupils enjoy school and the know that staff care for them.
We hope the successful candidate of this role will continue this legacy throughout their work.

- Is enthusiastic, approachable, friendly and positive about their role in education and contribution to our whole school community.
- Is committed to supporting, motivating, and challenging the learning of children of all abilities within the classroom.

- Is passionate about children’s learning and well-being
- Is keen to support the ethos of a Church school.
- Understands the importance of Child Protection and is committed to the safeguarding of children’s welfare- both at home and in school.
In return, we can offer you:
- A tight-knit, welcoming and caring school, that encourages everyone to give their best at all times, that aims to contribute all they can to our life as a school community. ‘Leaders are mindful of staff well-being. Staff say that they feel well supported by leaders and are proud to work for the school. Support from the Trust helps to reduce staff’s workload’ (Ofsted 2023).
- A collaborative and supportive school community that is underpinned by the Christian ethos, driven by a shared passion of children’s welfare and education.
- A rewarding and exciting working environment, that inspires and challenges within a supportive and welcoming atmosphere.
- Access to a vast array of employee benefits and recognition systems, via our new partnership with Vivup.
