We are looking to appoint a confident, aspiring and imaginative classroom teacher to work in Key Stage 2 who understands what progression in learning is and looks like.

• Care passionately about children and their development whilst still driving forward pupil progress and achievement.
• Value a team working approach and be keen to contribute and share your skills with colleagues.
• Have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, able to build on and maintain strong relationships with staff, parents and carers, children, governors and the local and wider community.

In return we offer:

• A welcoming community and a highly motivated, professional staff team that are driven towards continuously raising standards.
• Excellent professional development opportunities through an extensive range of network groups and other Transform Trust initiatives.
• Calm and purposeful learning environments.
• Friendly, polite, well-behaved children who deserve the very best.
• Good relationships between pupils, staff, parents, governors and community.
• A Leadership Team who wants everyone to succeed.
• Career opportunities as part of a successful Multi Academy Trust
