  • Collaborative staff team with shared commitment to pupil success
  • Chance to make a real impact in a busy, rewarding teaching environment

  • Diverse, multi-cultural pupil community
  • Inclusive ethos and strong community links
  • High expectations for both staff and pupils
  • Positive and supportive working environment
  • Focus on developing well-rounded, confident learners

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a teacher who:

  • Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
  • Has proven experience teaching within Key Stage 2 (Year 3 desirable)
