The Primary Department

Would you like the time and the opportunity to be a part of a Primary Department in a school where learning is at the heart of its curriculum? Can you inspire and engage reluctant learners and build confidence to enable them to realise and celebrate their talents? We seek a creative and innovative Primary Teacher to join our established team as soon as possible. We are looking for a committed and developing teacher, who will not settle for anything less than exciting, dynamic and provide excellent opportunities for our young people.  

Notton House has a warm, welcoming atmosphere in an attractive location. Our staff are dedicated and committed to providing broad and varied learning experiences in and outside of the classroom. We relentlessly focus on providing students every opportunity to access an individualised, broad and creative curriculum. Our school has 50 students on role, with no more than 5 in a class which allows each student the time they require with resourceful staff who will not settle for underachievement, even in the face of adversity.

We believe that SEMH and/or ASC/SLCN needs and a traditional classroom environment should not be a barrier to discovering talents.
