Some moments in teaching stay with you forever.

The excitement of discovering something new.

The quiet confidence that grows when a child realises, “I can do this.”

At Alphington Primary School, we believe these moments matter. They are the building blocks of confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

We are seeking a committed and inspiring primary teacher who holds high expectations for every child’s learning and behaviour. You will foster a nurturing, supportive classroom where pupils feel safe, respected and encouraged to thrive academically and personally.

You will work as part of our primary team, supported by experienced leaders in a school committed to high‑quality teaching and learning. Our approach promotes purposeful, engaging activities and carefully planned opportunities that allow every child to grow and succeed.

· Work closely with team and senior leaders to maintain a vibrant and inspiring environment

· Build strong, supportive relationships with children and their families

· Contribute to our collaborative approach to curriculum, assessment and continuous provision

· Bring energy, warmth and commitment to the wider life of the school

· Be reflective, organised and committed to professional growth

Whether you are an Early Career Teacher or an experienced practitioner, we encourage you to apply if you have a strong grasp of primary teaching approaches and how to help children make excellent progress.

In return, we offer:

· Children who are curious, kind and eager to learn
