Senior Teacher

We are seeking an exceptional and committed Senior Teacher to join our team and work closely with the Headteacher in driving the next phase of our school’s development. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced teacher who wishes to combine significant classroom practice with a defined senior leadership role.

This is a key strategic role for an experienced teacher and leader who is ready to take on whole‑school responsibility. The role comprises four days per week as a class teacher and one day per week dedicated to senior leadership responsibilities. The successful candidate will deputise for the Headteacher in their absence, maintain an overview of day‑to‑day life in the school, and play a central role in leading people, practice and improvement.

You will take responsibility for the performance management of support staff, contribute significantly to school improvement priorities, lead a subject or subjects, manage day-to-day operational matters and help ensure that our school continues to provide a safe, positive and ambitious environment for all pupils and staff.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about teaching, values strong relationships and is ready to take on wider leadership responsibility, while remaining firmly rooted in the classroom. This role is for someone who has the ability to see both the detail and the bigger picture of school life.

You must have:

• High expectations of yourself and of our pupils
• The ability to motivate and inspire our pupils
• A desire to actively take part in the wider aspects of the school
• The ability to recognise the uniqueness of every pupil
• An understanding of how and why children behave in differing ways
• A commitment to upholding the Christian Values and Ethos of the school
