Job/Person Summary

This post is fixed term for the remainder of the academic year, with the option to become permanent depending on the staffing structure for September 2027.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, dynamic and nurturing teacher to join our school in Year 6. The successful candidate will work with our lovely group of Year 6 children supported by three other class teachers, a Year 6 Teaching Assistant Team, the KS2 Phase Leader and SLT.
