About Thurston Church of England Primary Academy

We are looking to appoint an outstanding teacher to join our team in a supportive and friendly environment. The successful candidate will work part-time and be responsible for teaching, planning and contribute to reporting assessments. This is a post working in two different classes. One day a week (Monday) in a mixed Year 3 and 4 class and one day (Friday) in a Year 2 class. Both classes have an experienced main class teacher working 4 days a week. We are a caring school with a strong team of dedicated staff and governors working towards our key aim, to provide a supportive environment which will enable children to achieve their potential across all strands of learning. As a Church of England school we have a clear Christian ethos and strong ties with the local church.
At the heart of learning is a strong partnership between school and home. We strive hard to achieve this and we work with parents so that together we can provide the very best all-round education for the children.
In 2021 we relocated to a larger site in Norton Road, Thurston to accommodate the huge expansion, which will see the school go from being able to accommodate 210 pupils to 420. Our new school provides a modern learning environment for local children, with a current role 333 pupils across 13 classes.

This is a fabulous opportunity to join our supportive and caring team of professionals working with enthusiastic pupils. The post is initially for the rest of the 2024/25 academic year with the potential for further opportunities in the 2025/26 academic year and beyond.
Please apply initially by contacting the school office for a job description and application form or downloading the pack. Visits to the school to discuss the post are strongly encouraged.
