Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
We’ve built a brilliant curriculum here – one that really clicks with our pupils. It’s packed with purpose and personality, designed to get children excited about learning and remembering what they’ve learned. We’re proud of it – and we’d love you to help us make it even better.
This role could be in EYFS or KS1, depending on your strengths – we want the right fit for you and for us.
We’re searching for a teacher who really understands children – someone warm, enthusiastic, and able to build great relationships with families too. You’ll be a team player, full of ideas, and someone who brings good vibes and great practice to our staffroom.
You’ll also be a confident communicator, with a good understanding of how different teaching methods can help children thrive.
We’re a Google school, so if you know your way around Google Workspace – that’s a big plus!
As a Catholic school, all teachers deliver the RE curriculum and take part in our Christian/Catholic school life – it’s something we do together.
We’d love to hear from both ECTs and experienced teachers. To apply, you’ll need to be currently living in the UK and have the right to live and work here.

• National teacher pay scales – your experience is recognised and rewarded properly.
• Access to the excellent Teachers’ Pension Scheme.

• Training in Emotion Coaching – our whole-school approach to behaviour that’s rooted in empathy and regulation.
• Your own Google Chromebook – we’re a Google school and proud of how tech supports our teaching.
• A staff wellbeing service with confidential counselling and advice – whatever you’re dealing with, you’re not alone.
• Cycle to Work and Electric Car schemes (both contributory) – we support eco-friendly choices.
