This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate teacher who enjoys working with upper Key Stage 2 pupils and can create a stimulating classroom environment where children feel confident, challenged and motivated to succeed.

About You:

You will be a confident, organised and enthusiastic Primary Teacher with a genuine passion for helping children achieve their potential. Experience teaching Year 6 and preparing pupils for SATs would be advantageous, although applications from teachers with strong Key Stage 2 experience will also be welcomed.

The school is happy to consider applications from both experienced teachers and Early Career Teachers (ECTs) who are looking for a supportive long-term opportunity.

The role is available from ASAP or January 2027 and will initially be on a temporary, long-term basis, with the possibility of becoming permanent for the right candidate.
