At King Edwin Primary School, we pride ourselves on a culture of consistency, excellence, and shared ambition. We are currently looking for an outstanding practitioner to join us for three days a week to cover a maternity leave in Year 3.
In Year 3, our children transition into Key Stage 2, a pivotal moment in their academic journey. We aren't looking for a "gap-filler." We are looking for an exceptional teacher who will step into this role with the energy and professional rigor required to be a true #KingEdwinner. You will work closely with your job-share partner to ensure a seamless, high-quality experience for our pupils.
The Profile of Excellence We are seeking a teacher who can demonstrate:
• Seamless collaboration: You are a great communicator who understands how to thrive in a job-share, ensuring that planning, assessment, and pastoral care are perfectly synchronised.
• Pedagogical precision: You have a deep understanding of the KS1 and KS2 curriculum and the ability to deliver lessons that are both challenging and highly engaging.
• High-impact teaching: You possess the skills to quickly build strong relationships with Year 3 pupils, maintaining high expectations for behaviour and academic outcomes from day one.
• A commitment to quality: You take pride in all that you do. You understand that "good enough" isn't the KEPS way; we strive for excellence in all areas of school life.
• Professional character: You are resilient, reflective, and ready to contribute to the wider life of our school community during your time with us.

• A supportive partnership: You will be paired with an experienced colleague in a school that values teamwork and professional dialogue.
• Our pupils: Our Year 3 children are at a wonderful age - ready to take on more independence and eager to be inspired by a creative and dedicated teacher.
The KEPS atmosphere:
Even in a part-time capacity, you will be a fully integrated member of our "awesome team." We don't do "temporary" mindsets; you will be a valued #KingEdwinner from the moment you arrive. There may even be an opening and an opportunity to stay beyond the fixed contract.
