Excellent Teacher

The children, staff and governors of Pendeen are looking for a talented teacher to further enhance our school, inspiring our children to become independent, lifelong learners. We need an excellent teacher with a nurturing nature to join our team from 16th April, or sooner if possible.  Initially the post is to teach a Year 4 class, following successful appointment of the current teacher as Headteacher. We are looking for a candidate with experience of teaching Key Stage Two. However, experience of teaching across key stages, including mixed ages, would be advantageous. 

Teyr class would like a teacher who is fair, challenging, supportive, helpful, organised, wants the best for the class and, most importantly, believes in them all. 

Our vision for Pendeen school reflects the vision for Truro and Penwith Multi Academy Trust - we believe that children must have the best possible education to improve their life chances. As a school sponsored within a Teaching School, we put great emphasis on teacher development and there are a multitude of exciting opportunities across the trust for you to develop your classroom skills. Our recent Ofsted inspection rated the school as ‘Good.’ Coupled with a forthcoming significant rennovation project, this is an exciting time to be joining the team at Pendeen. 

As a small school, we demand a lot from our teachers, but you can be assured of support from an outstanding team of teachers, support staff and governors. Do you think you have the talent, drive and dedication to make the difference to a very deserving community located at the very westerly edge of the country? 

The successful candidate will need to:

- Be prepared to take on a class mid year

-Be energetic, resilient and have a genuine passion for teaching and learning.

-Be a committed team member, able to support others and be supported. 

We offer:

-An outstanding, supportive and dedicated staff team.

-First class professional development opportunities and career enhancement within Pendeen and across Truro and Penwith Academy Trust
