Class Teacher Year 2

Post: Year 2 Class Teacher Start Date: Monday 1st September 2026 Contract: Fixed term, one year Hours: Full time Pay Grade: M1 - M6 Our Vision in Action Guided by Mark 12:30-31, we strive to nurture the 'whole child'—encouraging them to love learning with all their heart and mind, while fostering a community built on loving our neighbours as ourselves. The Heart of Leadership We seek an enthusiastic, experienced educator who embodies our theologically rooted vision by valuing every child’s unique potential. You will be a source of inspiration, using your classroom expertise to collaborate with colleagues and raise standards across our school family. Primary Mastery & Classroom Excellence Equipped with a thorough understanding of learning and progression across Key Stage 1, you possess the versatile expertise required to manage your own classroom with academic rigor, driving high standards of learning and engagement.

Relationships Built on Respect Great learning begins with trust. By using positive behaviour strategies and modeling mutual respect, we would like someone who can create a classroom culture where every child feels safe, like they belong and feel valued.
