Class Teacher

Thomas Hickman School is gearing up for an exciting new chapter. As we look ahead to 2026, we are becoming Stronger, Sharper, Taller and Louder… and we’d love you to be part of it. Ideally, we are looking for a computing lead but if you’re right for us as a teacher, we will make something work that makes the most of your expertise. We see our children as “mystery seeds, full of potential, with futures yet to unfold. It’s not for us to decide who they will become but it is our role to provide the care, attention and just the right conditions they need to thrive. Who knows, we may even have a future Artemis IV astronaut in our classrooms! After all, everyone has to start somewhere and whilst the moon looks impressive, Thomas Hickman School is even more awe inspiring! We need you! If you enjoy a Mathemagical Moment , thrive in a Fashion Frenzy , or would happily roll into RollerSkate@8 then we would love to hear from you. Come and join the adventure!
