F1 Teacher

Head Teacher: Anne Ingle

17.5 hours per week - five mornings

Required from 1st September 2018

Be part of something amazing!

We are looking for an innovative, enthusiastic and excited teacher. A team player with strong interpersonal skills and organisational skills. A creative and motivating teacher in their approach to teaching and learning. A confident teacher who expects and maintains the highest standards of pupil achievement. You will preferably have a little bit of quirkiness: if a child requests that you be a captain of a pirate ship, you will be the very best pirate captain you can be! The ability to sing in tune is not necessary, however the ability to sing out of tune in front of a crowd is essential. As is dancing to all types of music! Given just some sticks and leaves, you could create something amazing that even Blue Peter presenters would be proud of.

Bilsthorpe Flying High Academy is set in beautiful countryside with acres of outdoor space, we are close to the Southwell trail as well as having a forest on our door step. We are at the heart of our community and enjoy being at the centre of community events. Bilsthorpe Flying High Academy has a fantastic and talented staff driven by a passion for educating our children. We are on a journey to ensure we are the best school in the world, where our children leave us with a lifelong love of learning and curiosity that will help them to develop high aspirations and all the skills they need for successful futures.

The children will look back with pride; remembering all of their experiences at the school and of having fun!

We have 7 pledges to ensure our school is a fun, nurturing, caring, safe place with high aspirations and standards so that both children and staff can flourish!
