Class Teacher

Berewood Primary School is proud of its journey since opening in September 2014.  We now have 420 pupils on roll and are oversubscribed in many year groups.  Together we are creating a vibrant, happy and exciting school, with a developing curriculum that provides a wealth of opportunities to inspire our pupils in their learning and personal development.  Our school is a positive and energetic environment in which everyone is encouraged to do their best and achieve their full potential, a place where everybody is valued and respected. We are guided in our daily work by our values – we call them our Berewood Bonds:

We are kind and helpful

We are respectful and safe

We are resilient and hardworking

We offer you a skilled, hardworking and dedicated staff team willing to offer support and expertise to develop your own practise, as well as excited to learn from you.  We work in a beautiful, purpose built new school, with bright classrooms, colourful shared spaces and lovely grounds.

We are looking for a new colleague to join us to take over the full time teaching responsibilities for one of our classes.  This role would suit a more experienced candidate who can demonstrate a strong track record of highly effective teaching and outstanding pupil progress; someone who is ready to expand their professional experience in a fresh setting.

• Is positive and caring when working on children's welfare and pastoral needs
• Is self-motivated in putting pupil's learning and development at the heart of everything they do
• Leads by example and communicates well with children, colleagues and parents and governors by working in partnership with them
• Collaborates effectively as a team member, knowing that they will be valued for their contribution to the work of the school.

In return, we offer you:

• A friendly school which works closely with our pupils' families
• Happy, well behaved pupils who are well engaged with their learning
