Role Description

We are in search of a highly qualified English-speaking teacher who holds a teaching degree or a teaching certificate (QTS) in Primary Education. Our class teachers are responsible for teaching all primary subjects, with the exception of art, coding, music, German, and physical education, which are delivered by specialists. Our primary school serves students from Year 1 through Year 4, as secondary education in Germany starts in Year 5. We function as a three-form entry primary school, comprising a total of 12 classes across Years 1 to 4. Our educational framework is aligned with the objectives set forth in the German county curriculum for Lower Saxony, with lessons taught in English utilizing materials predominantly from the UK, US, and other English-speaking countries.
