Teaching Fellow job summary

The Teaching Fellow post is a fixed term appointment. It is aimed at candidates who intend to apply for Teach First for the 2026-27 academic year (we would nominate you to Teach First and if accepted, you would train with us Training Programme Nomination | Teach First)

During the first year, Teaching Fellows will carry out the role of either a teaching assistant, subject tutor or cover supervisor - and have enhanced opportunities to take on small groups, providing intervention and cover or teach some classes in order to develop confidence and skills in readiness for the Teach First Programme.

Teaching Fellows complement the professional work of teachers by taking responsibility for agreed learning activities under an agreed system of supervision. This may involve planning, preparing and delivering learning activities for individuals/ groups or whole classes.

We are committed to a knowledge-rich curriculum and a traditional approach to teaching, behaviour and culture. We are values-driven and our vision is to provide an inclusive, aspirational and academic education for all our students, so that all of them will learn, thrive and lead successful lives. We are unapologetically ambitious for every child, no matter what their background, prior attainment or needs. We want to ensure that all our students have the option to be able to go to university or aspirational alternative. We are not going to reduce expectations because of a child’s background or home life, or because they are new to English or have a special education need. In fact, the opposite is true. It is our job to redouble our efforts to help children overcome these barriers so that they can flourish.

We value our staff highly and treat workload very seriously. Our systems are high leverage, ensuring you can really focus on your core purpose – teaching, in a sustainable way, unhindered by bureaucracy or poor behaviour.

You will: 

• Be an enthusiastic subject specialist
• Have a minimum 2:2 Degree, with a demonstrable passion for your subject
• Be an excellent role model who actively promotes the skills, attributes and behaviour important in a classroom
• Have experience working with children
• Have the highest expectations of behaviour
• Be committed to working as part of a team
• Be highly organised
• Have excellent communication skills.

We offer:

• A unique and inspirational environment to work in
• A professional and collaborative school with a commitment to continued professional development
• The opportunity to join a strong staff team, where our values are integral to all we do.

In a friendly and welcoming school with supportive colleagues, you'll be able to make a real impact on our academy, and on the lives of our children.

Interested in applying?

If this is something you are interested in, looking for a new challenge, have a passion for education or maybe all of the above, we actively welcome visits and would be delighted to show you around our academy to appreciate fully our excellent learning environment. Please don't hesitate to get in touch.

We are extremely proud of the achievements of our students that are a result of the high expectations, students’ hard work and commitment and the supportive relationships that exist between staff, students and their parents/carers.

We believe in a traditional, subject-based approach to teaching in order to create a scholarly culture that is disciplined and joyful. We want to ensure that we open doors for every students’ future and develop in them a life-long love of learning.

We are committed to developing our staff to be the very best that they can be by striving to ensure that all of our colleagues can access high-quality Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Our CPD programme is both department-based and in collaboration with academies within the Astrea family and external partners. Wide-ranging opportunities for professional development are available for staff at all stages of their career, including ECTs, experienced classroom teachers, middle and senior leaders and support staff.
