About the role

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher to join our friendly teaching team from September (or earlier for the right candidate) at our wonderful school.

We are a small, one-form entry Church of England primary school with a nursery in a beautiful village with a mainline station that quickly and easily gets you directly into central London. Our children are well behaved, kind and love learning. Our school is well resourced and on extensive grounds which help children to flourish and engage in the wider curriculum. Our school has a strong heart that believes we can all make a positive difference. We believe in education that is taught through core values such as kindness and respect and as such, we are welcoming of all faiths and religions in our whole community.

• Be a qualified teacher or an ECT who can demonstrate and articulate high standards of teaching and learning in either KS1 or KS2
• Be able to develop positive relationships with pupils, staff, parents and carers
