Teacher (Key Stage 1) - Maternity Cover

At Windale Primary School, we are looking for a teacher to join our Year 1 teaching team, covering a Maternity Leave.

You may be early on in your career, or you may be more experienced. You will have the drive to deliver high quality teaching and learning and want to be part of working in a school that sits at the heart of its community and supports children to be the best they can be.

We are looking for a highly motivated teacher who wants to work within our fabulous staff team, transforming education for our amazing children.

You will need to be:

• An excellent teacher with secure subject knowledge and understanding of effective pedagogy.
• Committed to on-going professional development.
• Calm and able to build positive relationships with children, staff and families.
• Effective at managing behaviour and creating a happy, safe and purposeful learning environment.
• Enthusiastic, creative and inspirational in your practice.
• Passionate about creating an inclusive ethos within your classroom, that celebrates every member of the class family and supports them to overcome any barriers they may face.
• Windale Primary school is situated on the outskirts of Oxford City, within Blackbird Leys and Greater Leys. Your work will have the power to transform life opportunities where it is needed most.

Windale Primary School is part of United Learning, a large and growing group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England.

Our schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. Our subject specialists, our Group-wide intranet, our own curriculum and our online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.

As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities and training e.g. NPQS, better pay, additional benefits and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It is an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’. We also have United Rewards, covering lifestyle and retail benefits including childcare vouchers, car lease scheme, cycle to work etc.
