King Edwin Primary School is a thriving village school in the beautiful village of Edwinstowe. We are a successful, forward thinking and very well respected school in Nottinghamshire and beyond. 

A fantastic opportunity has opened up for the right candidate and we are looking for a brilliant teacher to join our team, enhance our offer and deliver outstanding education to the community that we serve from January 2021 for 2 terms initially (maternity cover). 

We are extremely proud of our reputation for providing a well-rounded education for our children and for supporting other establishments, significantly impacting on many children across the region. Our strong links with the Minster Teaching School Alliance , Mansfield Partnership, Sheffield Hallam University and NAACE, alongside collaboration across a range of networks provide significant CPD opportunities for all of our team. Our school is very much a learning community and the suitable candidate will be expected to fully embrace this culture. 

Joining us at an exceptionally exciting time, you will need to: 

  • Engage in a collaborative working environment; sharing your practice and learning alongside others within our team.
  • Have an understanding of the demands of the primary curriculum, particularly the standards required at the end of each Key Stage.
  • Have excellent organisational skills and the ability to work in a highly versatile setting.
  • Express a clear understanding of the skills and passion that you will bring to Team KEPS.
  • Show ambition and be able to visualise the impact you can have on provision for all children
  • Demonstrate willingness to lead an area of the curriculum and take responsibility and / or shadow other leaders as you look to further develop as a practitioner. 

We are particularly keen to recruit candidates with both strong personal skills and an interest in science, although we are more interested in recruiting that “special person” who will become one of our “KingEdwinners” and help Team KEPS to become an even stronger collective. 

This position is open to both experienced and newly qualified candidates.
