KS1 or KS2 Class Teacher

Following the promotion of one of our teachers, we are currently looking to appoint an exceptional KS1 or KS2 class teacher who is highly motivated and well organised to join our happy staff team.  

St Michael with St John CE Primary School is a very successful, two form entry primary school committed to delivering a broad and creative curriculum and providing our pupils with access to a wide range of extra-curricular activities, excellent resources and facilities.  

Our delightful and exceptionally well behaved children ‘demonstrate extremely positive attitudes to learning’ (Ofsted Feb 2017).  They are supported by our dedicated and highly skilled staff team who are committed to giving them the very best start to their education.   

We would love you to take a look on our website www.smsjbwd.co.uk that provides lots of information about our school.  We would also be delighted to show you around to see our school in action.  Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and encouraged from any interested candidates.  

Our new Class Teacher will:

 • Demonstrate excellent classroom practice with high expectations of children and staff.

• Understand what high standards look like and how to attain them.

• Inspire, enthuse and motivate our pupils.

• Be able to establish and develop good working relationships with all members of the school community.

• Positively contribute to the wider life of our school.

• Be committed to SMSJ’s Christian ethos. 

• Have excellent communication, organisation and interpersonal skills.

• Be able to lead a subject throughout the school - with the exception of NQTs (to be determined based on the successful candidate’s experience and skills).

• Be a solution focused and positive teacher with high levels of professional integrity.

In return we can offer:

• A warm and welcoming school environment.

• Friendly, enthusiastic and well behaved children who are a pleasure to teach and whose behaviour is continually celebrated by both us and visitors to our school.

• The opportunity to be part of an enthusiastic, professional learning team.
