About Gwinear Community Primary School

Advert Text
About the role (to include specific hours per week): (explain more about the role and opportunity including experience / competencies you are looking for)

Are you a teacher that loves the outdoors? Do you want to provide learning experiences that are never forgotten? We are looking for a full time inspirational teacher with a passion for developing the whole child through immersive and meaningful learning. We have a wonderful school set in the heart of the Cornish countryside with fantastic grounds. As much as possible we like to use this valuable asset to enhance children’s learning and we have recently developed our grounds with learning zones that act as extensions to the classroom. In addition we have two minibusses which are used regularly to transport children to three special outdoor locations in the local region and teachers are encouraged to make the most of the wealth of sites in Cornwall that can be visited to enrich the curriculum. We are also keen to combine this ourtdoor influenced approach with innovative use of ICT to really fire up enthusiasm and drive motivation in learners and we are currently upgrading all ICT equipment so we are best resourced to do this. Therefore experience using tablets, laptops and learning software would be most welcome.

The curriculum itself has been carefully mapped out and is covered through topics with themed classrooms and end outcomes where children share their learning with wider audiences e.g. by creating a book, website or a pop up museum!
We also believe the skills of enquiry and reasoning are vital for lifelong learning and we place huge emphasis on nurturing and helping children to develop a strong moral compass. This is not to say the school does not value the importance of the core curriculum. Indeed we strive for the highest standards for all our children but believe this is best achieved by creating the necessary foundations; developing the whole child, buiding resillience and the ability to reflect before providing learning experiences that are exciting and awe inspiring.
With this in mind we want an individual that can bring enthusiasm, creativity and compassion to our team and welcome all applicants that share our vision. However, as the post is for a Year 5/6 class it is vital that any candidate is able to teach to the levels expected for the subjects in the core curriculum.

A visit to the school’s website will help to give you a better idea of the school but there is no substitute for first-hand experience so visits are strongly recommended or for those further afield unable to get in a virtual tour with the headteacher could be arranged. Please email the Administrator for an appointment secretary@gwinear.cornwall.sch.uk.
The position is for a full time teacher, required from September but the school is able to cover provision for the class until notice periods are served. It is initially for a 1 year fixed term basis but will become a permanent contract if this first year is successful. Middle leadership experience particularly with mathematics and/or ICT would be advantageous but all candidates including NQTs will be considered

We are committed to safeguarding children and the successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, and will be assessed against the Childcare Disqualification Regulations.
