Castle Primary School is a vibrant and welcoming school, situated in Keynsham, between Bath & Bristol.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and flexible teacher, who understands the importance of going ‘over and above'. A commitment to learning both within and outside of the classroom (including extra-curricular opportunities) is essential, as is the ability to fully support our school values and vision.

• Access to ‘Teacher Admin’ to reduce non-teaching tasks
• Schemes of Work (English, Maths and other subjects) and pre-planned topics
• In-class support from a committed team of TAs and a Pastoral Team
• Access to high-quality CPD at both whole school, Key Stage and for individuals
• Opportunities to grow as a professional and truly develop your skills
• PPA covered by a qualified teacher
• Consideration of your ‘well-being’ and access to support (in the eventuality any is required)
• Resources to support teaching: a high ratio of tech for children to use and a library
• The support of a Trust who like us, values its employees and respects our school’s individuality
