What skills and experience we're looking for
This is a unique opportunity for an inspirational candidate. Rode and Norton St. Philip First School Federation is a popular and welcoming community, based across two village first schools 20 minutes south of Bath. Both sites are idyllic, surrounded by countryside and with very supportive parents and village communities. We offer a creative curriculum, underpinned by well-structured plans, in a nurturing learning environment where we aim to ‘ignite a creative spark’ in both staff and children.
Our teachers can be based at either site but the post holder will initially teach year 2 or 3 on the Rode site, depending on experience and strengths. A consultation is currently taking place in the Frome area which may lead to our school becoming a primary school in the next few years.
We are seeking a special person who shares our vision and values, is committed to doing their very best for our team and children, and who enjoys their job as a teacher.
Our children are highly motivated and excited by learning. Creativity is at the heart of our school, and we provide numerous opportunities for staff and children to immerse themselves in the Arts, Literature, Performance and Film. Staff are trusted and encouraged to innovate and research new ideas. We believe, in life, you get out what you put in and as such, are looking for a teacher who is committed and can care about our school and the people in it.
We are looking for a candidate who:
- Has experience of delivering the Year 2 and/or 3 curriculum and an understanding of other primary year groups.
- Has strong phonics, early reading and SEND knowledge but is also willing to learn.
- Is dynamic, a self-motivated researcher of ideas and a reflective practitioner.
- Is committed to the highest expectations of children’s learning and progress.
- Is enthusiastic and imaginative in creating engaging, surprising, learning experiences.
- Is interested in building children’s oracy and vocabulary.
- Has excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to build strong relationships with our families
- Is nurturing and able to encourage the best from every child allowing all to shine.
- Is a friendly, caring, team-player with a good sense of humour who can complement our small team and contribute to the wider life of our schools.

- A leadership team who highly value excellent teaching, creative thinking and new ideas
- A stable team of experienced supportive colleagues who enjoy their work and each other’s company.
- An idyllic rural village school environment with single year group classes
