Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a Class Teacher to join our incredible team who can nurture and inspire our children, foster a love of learning, and make a profound difference to their lives. We are immensely proud of our School Trust – we live our vision by working collectively as a family of schools with a shared responsibility for all children. By working as a Hub (alongside Dunsford Community Academy and All Saint’s Marsh C of E Academy) and as part of the wider School Trust, we empower each other to deliver an exceptional curriculum offer that is fully rooted in our Christian values.

This is a great opportunity to be part of a wider team of teachers not just in the South Devon Hub, but across the wider Trust who develop practice and share expertise for the benefit of all children. Whether you’re just starting out as an Early Career Teacher or bring years of classroom experience, we would love to hear from you! We value the diversity of skills and perspectives that every teacher brings and are committed to supporting a healthy life balance for all our colleagues. We’re happy to explore flexible working arrangements and discuss what that might look like for you.

What the school offers its staff

Lying at the heart of the community, the Academy is situated within the historic market town of Bovey Tracey framed by the stunning backdrop of Dartmoor. Bovey Tracey is just a 30-minute drive from Exeter and under an hour from Torbay. There is a real sense of community where we aim to ensure that all our children have the best start in life and can flourish in all they do.

At Bovey we aim to provide every child with a rich and engaging curriculum; we maximise our rural location and enjoy fantastic outdoor learning including forest school areas where a wealth of natural resources makes learning fun and awe-inspiring for all children. We provide a range of experiences and opportunities that are fully rooted in our values and local community. We believe that education is about more than lessons in a classroom - it’s about sparking curiosity, building confidence, and giving every child the best possible start in life.

Our School Trust is underpinned by our four core beliefs; we are stronger together, a sense of belonging; removing barriers and realising the possible. This means that by working collectively, we can achieve our absolute best to ensure that children, especially the most vulnerable, can flourish. Our ethos is one of working together to Empower, Excel, Together.
