Summary
What skills and experience we're looking for
St Catherine’s Catholic Primary School is looking for an amazing teacher to join our team from September 2026. We are looking for applicants who have experience of teaching in Early Years or Key Stage One previously and we are also very happy to hear from ECT teachers.
We would like to hear from teachers who have high expectations of pupils, both in their learning and their behaviour, and who will challenge and motivate them in creative ways. We also want people who are fun and dynamic and not afraid to try something new! You should be willing to participate in the Catholic life of our school but do not need to be Catholic yourself.

Our staff team are supportive and caring, wellbeing is a focus and we have a strong commitment to innovative professional development.
We really value our staff work life balance and can offer:
o Additional PPA time
o Experienced parallel teachers and line managers
o A supportive and successful ECT programme
o Use of TeachmateAI to reduce workload
o Staff INSETS only as and when needed
