‘At University, people tell you to work in a school that ‘feels right’ and The Meadow is definitely that school. It has been a fantastic place to work. The staff are a truly dedicated team and the children have been and continue to be a delight to teach. The school is a wonderful place to work thanks to the colleagues and amazing children I have worked with. I have never before worked in an environment where every person is so professional, yet fun and friendly.’

We are looking for a teacher to join our enthusiastic team. We work closely in our phased teams, with shared PPA. We have a supportive team of Teaching Assistants and amazing children. Our curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of our learners and is exciting and progressive. 

We are located in a beautiful part of South Cambridgeshire, 10 miles from Cambridge and on the Essex/Suffolk borders.  The Meadow is a high performing school across all year groups. As a school though, we believe in so much more than just results. Our passion is creating lifelong learners and children who believe in themselves and each other. The ethos and community spirit of our school is clearly visible and the children and staff take pride in our school and describe it as ‘a very happy place full of learning and excitement!’ We believe that working closely together across all phases with a shared understanding of our students is key to achieving success for all and high quality

The Meadow is part of Anglian Learning, an Academy Trust which enables us to provide high quality CPD, often bespoke to our individual staff. We also work closely with other schools both in our local cluster and the Trust in a partnership of school to school support, both offering and receiving in house training, networking opportunities and support.

• High expectations and a good knowledge of the National Curriculum.

• The ability to motivate and inspire our children

• The desire to take an active part in the wider aspects of school life

• A clear understanding of positive behaviour management

• The ability to recognise each child as an individual and plan to meet their needs

• Experience of subject leadership across a school is a benefit, but not essential as training can be given

Our school offers many opportunities including:

• Committed staff who work collaboratively, planning together each week with joint PPA

• Bespoke programmes of CPD, offered through school and external teaching partnerships
