About Us
We are immensely proud of our teaching staff and pupils at Gorse Ride Schools. We believe that staff engagement is the key to making the school successful and welcome new ideas from staff to continuously improve. Our children are well rounded individuals who are enthusiastic, keen to learn and enjoy being challenged. We create an environment where the children feel safe, discover their strengths, take risks in their learning and set challenges for themselves.
We are looking for an energetic and enthusiastic Class Teacher who has a genuine passion for high quality teaching to join our committed team.

- Providing a safe environment for children and young people to learn in
- Identifying children and young people who are likely to suffer significant harm and taking appropriate action with the aim of making sure they are kept safe both at home and in the education setting.
