Primary Class Teacher – Temporary Maternity Cover

We are looking for a primary teacher to join our happy and committed team, to help nurture the belief in our children that they can genuinely achieve anything they put their minds to.

This role is a one-year temporary maternity cover post. The year group you will be teaching is flexible to meet the skills of each individual candidate, whether that be EYFS, KS1 or KS2. 

Are you an excellent classroom practitioner, who is dedicated to improving the life chances of children? 
We passionately believe that all children, whatever their individual circumstances, should feel secure, included, valued and challenged in all aspects of school life by being at the centre of every action and decision we make. We strive to enable our children to leave St. Edmund’s as skilled and well-rounded individuals, successfully prepared to take on the challenge of secondary school and adulthood.

Is this a vision that you share? If so, we are looking for someone who:

•  Genuinely enjoys working with children and puts the children’s well-being before anything else.
•  Has the ability to make learning fun and engaging whilst ensuring all children are appropriately challenged.
•  Approaches teaching with enthusiasm and a positive attitude.
•  Has high expectations of all children’s achievement and behaviour.
•  Has the ability to lead and inspire children and staff.
•  Has ideas and energy.
•  Sincerely values every member of the school community.
•  Is eager to make a wider contribution to school life.

In return, we can offer you:

•  A truly amazing group of friendly, motivated and well-behaved children, who we are all proud of.
•  A strong commitment to ensuring your well-being, including personal ‘passport’ days in term time!
•  We are a recognised ‘support school’ with a strong leadership team who will support your professional development, tailored to your personalised needs.
•  Dedicated weekly PPA time and regular leadership time where appropriate.
•  An attractive well-resourced learning environment.
•  A very supportive governing body.
