Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a creative, passionate professional to join our friendly church school to cover a period of maternity leave. We’d love to meet someone who will be an active member of our team as we continue to grow and develop together, striving to offer our children the best experience possible.

Our ideal candidates will:

• Believe that all children can achieve success, across the curriculum, in line with our ethos of ‘learning and living life in all its fullness’;

• Have high standards and expect nothing but the best from yourself and the children in your care;

• Be flexible and adaptable;

• Be a really strong team player; willing to embrace a challenge; able to bring enthusiasm and creativity to the year group team and the wider school;

• Be confident, adaptive and reflective in using excellent assessment for learning to enable children to make great progress;

• Be supportive of our distinctively Christian foundation and ethos.

What the school offers its staff

St Peter’s CE Junior School is a two-form entry Church of England junior school, close to the centre of Farnborough but on a beautiful, tree-lined site which we share with St Peter’s Church. For a small school, we are lucky to enjoy a range of varied facilities including a dedicated art room, lots of quiet group spaces, a pupil kitchen, and our beautiful library at the centre of the school. Not many state schools can say their library is the original entrance to a Grade-2 listed manor house with hundreds of years of history!

The successful candidate will benefit from a full induction, plenty of support from our experienced, welcoming staff team and appropriate development opportunities, as we work together to keep growing our school to give our children the best experience we can provide. We work together to provide peer-to-peer teaching support, leadership advice and cups of tea when needed!

As a part-time, 3 half-term post, this opportunity is unfortunately not suitable for ECT1 or ECT2 teachers.
