An exciting opportunity for an experienced teacher has arisen to work at Churchgate Primary School.

We are looking for a KS1 teacher to join our team who is keen to be actively involved with all aspects of school life.

At Churchgate Primary School, we pride ourselves in providing great opportunities for learning. We are very proud of the achievements of our pupils and of our community, embedding a culture of courage, compassion and thankfulness in our school.

The wellbeing of every child is of a high priority for us, as we believe this is at the centre of their development. TPP (Trauma Perceptive Practice) is the golden thread that we are weaving throughout our school, where compassion, kindness and empathy drive our approach to supporting pupils.

Building strong relationships across the whole school community is at the heart of what we do and our mission is to Nurture Life in All its Fullness.

• A willingness to learn and strive for excellence
• High expectations and the ability to teach fun, inspirational lessons
• A willingness to participate in all aspects of school life
• A child centred approach that is inclusive of everyone
• Excellent teamwork skills
• An innovative approach to learning and teaching
• A proactive nature and a keen willingness to improve
• Excellent organisational and analytical skills

• A firm commitment to you and your professional development
• Friendly, supportive, enthusiastic and hardworking colleagues, staff and governors
• Encouragement to develop new ideas and the opportunity to make a real difference
• Positive, well behaved and happy children

Being a 1 form entry primary school, the successful candidate will also likely take on some level of subject leadership depending on experience.

Ideally, you will also have experience of working with children with SEND. You will be able to scaffold and extend children's learning and develop their independent thinking through appropriate questioning as well as being committed to consistency, inclusion and challenge.

The children at Churchgate Primary School need a stable and committed staff, who really believe in them and ensure they receive the best teaching and the widest opportunities possible.

In return, you will see that our children are enthusiastic, keen to learn and rewarding to teach.

You will be warmly welcomed and supported as part of our team.

For further information about the role, or to arrange an informal discussion or visit, please contact the Headteacher, or email

We exercise the right to interview and appoint ahead of the closing date should the right candidate apply.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
