Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher to join our team of committed and friendly staff to teach a Year 6 class either full time or 3 days a week in our school from November 2026 to cover a teacher going travelling. This post is fixed term for the remainder of the academic year, with the option to become permanent depending on the staffing structure for September 2027.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, dynamic and nurturing teacher to join our school in Year 6. The successful candidate will work with our lovely group of Year 6 children supported by three other class teachers, a Year 6 Teaching Assistant Team, the KS2 Phase Leader and SLT.

This post would be suitable for an experienced class teacher as it will not fulfil the criteria to be part of an ECT induction process.

We are able to offer you:

• A commitment to your continued professional development

• A large, well-resourced site

• Pleasant and cooperative children

• An ethos of support, where new ideas are welcomed
