Duncombe Primary School is looking to appoint a highly skilled class teacher. Are you a dedicated and energetic individual? Are you creative, innovative, with a strong commitment to inclusion and the ability to inspire and motivate pupils? We are looking to appoint a highly skilled class teacher, who is committed to high standards of achievement and behaviour for all children.  Experience in an inner-city setting is desirable, as is the ability to teach in KS1 or KS2.

Duncombe is a very happy, thriving school; graded as a ‘good’ school by Ofsted in November 2017. The children are at the heart of everything that we do and every decision that we make. The school's leadership team, governing body and staff team work collegially and we have extremely high expectations for the children and of the children.  As a teacher at Duncombe, you will work hard to bridge the gap between advantage and disadvantage and ensure that every child reaches their full potential.

Duncombe’s ethos is ASPIRE, we want to encourage ambition, self-esteem, perseverance, independence, resilience and enthusiasm as characteristics in all our children. We believe that these soft-skills, combined with a rigorous, knowledge-based curriculum, will prepare our children for secondary school and beyond.

As Literacy lead you will develop on the outstanding work of our AHT, who has ensured that the provision at Duncombe means every child will excel in reading and writing.

Duncombe is an exceptionally well-resourced school that makes leading on literacy exciting due to the vast possibilities you can create for the children.

We have a strong commitment to staff well-being and professional development.
