Class teacher

About the role

Our children say: “We are looking for a class teacher who is calm, kind, caring, organised and fun.”

We are a smaller than average village school with a great team of teachers and support staff who are fully committed to the education and also the wellbeing of our children.

We aim to be an inclusive school, a place where families are welcomed and involved as part of our community. Our children’s experiences are memorable and take into account their individual needs, interests and aspirations. Staff encourage and model growing minds and celebrate those who independently seek challenge and show resilience as part of the learning journey. Pupils will become confident life-long learners who leave us ready for the next stage of their learning for life and a respect for everyone’s future.
