Job overview
Are you a nurturing teacher, with a focus on achieving high standards and progress, and committed to developing children’s character?
At Elsley we value high-quality learning and achievement, together with an ethos of sharing and respecting.
We are looking for excellent teachers. If you want to join an enthusiastic, dynamic and committed staff, with modern buildings and facilities and a collaborative, supportive atmosphere, then we want to hear from you!
Our school is an exciting place to work and to learn. Staff are empowered and improve their practice through a coaching culture and there is no data-led performance management. As a reflective school we are committed to continuous improvement whilst aiming to balance the needs and wellbeing of our staff.
Elsley is a values-led, diverse and happy community, with a wealth of experience and cultures. Staff are committed to sharing good practice and collaborative working, with opportunities for creativity within the curriculum encouraged. Together we are focused on making a positive impact on achievement. Our children are at the heart of everything we do.
We have high expectations for pupil progress and outcomes, combined with creativity within our curriculum offer. Some of our more unusual initiatives include an on-site farm and a whole-school residential curriculum. This starts by giving our youngest children the experience of a night-time walk and a campfire, leading through on-site camping under canvas and culminating in longer trips away from school for the oldest children.
Our pupils face many challenges, including high levels of deprivation and associated difficulties. Significant numbers of pupils arrive mid-year and with little or no English. Our systems and staff training reflect these additional challenges and we collectively strive to overcome these barriers.

Values and vision
Elsley Primary School’s four main values are: learning, sharing, achieving and respecting. The school believes that learning is a lifelong process of self-improvement and active growth. Teachers aim to develop pupils’ potential, setting them on their way to becoming confident children and then adults.
Elsley Primary School seeks to nurture creativity and develop independence, while teaching pupils to share and recognise the value of giving. It encourages high aspirations in its pupils, and aims to build students’ self-esteem. It also wants children to celebrate each others’ similarities and differences, take pride in themselves and display good manners.
Ofsted report
Pupils are firmly at the centre of the school’s community.
Pupils behave well during lessons, at breaktimes and lunchtimes and as they move around the school. The school is a well-ordered community where staff and pupils go about their work purposefully. They get along well with each other, acting responsibly and cooperatively.
Pupils’ wider development is a strength of the school. The school’s approach to diversity encourages pupils to value each other as individuals and celebrate differences. One pupil expressed the views of many by explaining, ‘School helps us to be proud of who we are.’
Staff speak very highly about the way leaders make them feel valued and consider their workload. Leaders have taken steps to reduce workload by making sure that all the information they ask teachers to collect is useful in tracking and supporting pupils’ progress. Staff at all stages of their careers appreciate the high priority leaders give to professional training. They know that leaders will listen to any concerns they have. Teamwork is a strength in the school and enables staff to have opportunities to discuss and share their own learning.
