Thorpe is a vibrant, multicultural school where children feel safe and inspired to achieve their very best. Our school is built upon expert teaching, a broad and ambitious curriculum, and a strong commitment to pastoral care. We are fortunate to have a dedicated staff team that includes a full-time SENDCo, Family Engagement Lead, Sports Coach and a highly supportive Senior Leadership Team who place staff wellbeing and professional development at the heart of our work.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced teacher to join our friendly Year 6 team for the remainder of the academic year on a part time basis (ideally every morning - but can be negotiated for the right person) to enable smaller group teaching. You will work alongside skilled colleagues who share resources, expertise and a collective commitment to securing excellent outcomes for children. With class sizes of no more than 25 pupils, our Year 6 cohort benefits from a learning environment that enables staff to truly know every child and maximise their progress. You will be supported by experienced Teaching Assistants who play an integral role in promoting children's learning, wellbeing and independence, allowing teachers to focus on high-quality teaching and learning.

We are proud to be an inclusive school where every child is known and valued. Our specialist High Needs classroom, led by an experienced SEND teacher, together with our fully equipped sensory room, enables us to provide exceptional support for pupils with additional needs. Diversity is celebrated, ambition is encouraged and curiosity is nurtured. As a result, our children leave Thorpe as confident, caring and resilient young people who are well prepared for the next stage of their education.

As part of Keys Academies Trust, we benefit from strong collaboration across our family of schools, providing opportunities to share best practice, access wider professional development and enrich the educational experiences we offer our pupils.

If you would like to experience the warmth, ambition and community spirit that make Thorpe such a special place, we would be delighted to welcome you for a tour of the school. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet our staff and pupils and learn more about the role. Please contact the school office on 01733 264340 to arrange a visit ahead of the closing date on Monday 23rd November.

Yours sincerely,

Nikki Lamond
