Key Stage One Teacher

What skills and experience we're looking for

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Key Stage One teacher to cover maternity leave from April 2026 for two terms. Our school motto is ‘Be the Best You Can Be’ and we are looking for a committed, friendly teacher who will help our children meet their potential and to be the best they can be.

Teaching in a Key Stage 1 class of mixed Year One and Two pupils, we are looking for a flexible practitioner who would be interested in inspiring our fabulous children in their learning. Experience in teaching phonics and including and differentiating the curriculum for children with additional needs would be an advantage.

• An inspirational and reflective practitioner who is passionate about children’s learning
• Committed to ensuring all children make progress, regardless of their starting points
• A team-player, who will work collaboratively with all members of the team
• A professional who is able to differentiate for all members of the class, from those with additional needs to those working at greater depth.

We can offer you:

• A happy, friendly and caring school
• Children who are well-behaved and eager to learn
• A team of fellow professionals, who are hard-working and want the best for all our children
• A supportive parental body
• An opportunity to make a difference
• A commitment to your continued professional development whilst you are with us.

We are situated in a relatively isolated part of the country and are looking for someone to enable our children to raise their aspirations and to develop a love of lifelong learning.
