Want a great job in a great school in a great location?
We work hard here, but only on the things that make a difference: we don’t do meaningless paperwork; we don’t grade lessons or monitor your planning. Instead of marking we give feedback in lessons. We are always trying to find smarter ways to do our work.
We only recruit people who are passionate about making a difference to children’s lives, people who challenge themselves to keep on improving. This means our working relationships can be relatively relaxed and informal. People love working here; we are warm, welcoming, positive, supportive and forward looking.
You will be joining a three form entry school with an inclusive ethos based in the sea side town of Weston-super-Mare. We work together to foster children who are compassionate, respectful, happy, tolerant, curious and collaborative as well as academically successful.
We are looking for a teacher who:
• Has a proven record of success as a class teacher and expertise in empowering children to make rapid progress.
• Demonstrates optimism about children and expect the highest possible standards
• Nurtures pupils’ emotional wellbeing
We offer you:
• Sensible and successful systems, based on research, with a commitment to reduce workload where ever possible
• An enhanced PPA offer
• A positive, warm and welcoming working environment
• Experienced, intelligent, lively colleagues
• Family-friendly working practices
• A fantastic location with great transport links
• A strong emphasis on professional learning and teacher development
• A commitment to evidence based practice
• Support and professional development opportunities alongside staff from our Trust family of schools
