Whatever a child’s background or starting point, we want to make sure that they finish Year 6 with the academic skills, social skills and knowledge necessary to succeed. Every lesson at our school is creative and there is plenty of time for children to think, to play, to discover and wonder.

We require a Class Teacher who is outstanding or has potential to be outstanding to join our hardworking, motivated, highly successful and committed team.

If you feel passionately about teaching and learning and are you prepared to strive to enable every pupil to achieve their potential, this role could be for you.
