Behaviour across the school is positive, with clear routines and high expectations that allow learning to take place in a calm and purposeful environment.

The successful teacher will take responsibility for a settled and well-supported Year 2 class, delivering engaging and structured lessons across the curriculum, with a particular focus on core subjects such as English and Maths. There is a strong emphasis on meeting the needs of all learners, including pupils who may require additional support, and working collaboratively with support staff and senior leaders to ensure consistent progress.

  • A collaborative staff team that values consistency and professionalism

  • Competitive daily pay of £180-£245, depending on experience

    • This role would suit a confident and capable teacher who is looking for a rewarding full-time position in a school where staff are valued and children are at the heart of everything they do.
