This role is an excellent fit for Early Career Teachers (ECTs) eager to build experience, as well as for teachers seeking a more stable, long-term contract instead of short-term or daily placements.

Airy Hill Primary School

Located just walking distance from the town centre, Airy Hill Primary School is a modern, recently re-furbished building with great facilities, including an adventure trail, large field, chill-out benches and the garden project.

Pupils enjoy, achieve and excel at Airy Hill. We develop the ‘whole child’ through our exciting curriculum. When we are not studying in the classroom, you will find us at our own forest school, learning musical instruments, competing in sport or creating art. We know each child has their different strengths and we believe in offering a wide and varied curriculum.

Our Opportunity

We are looking for a Year 5 Teacher to our team. This opportunity is ideal for ECT’s looking to build up experience, or for teachers looking for a longer contract instead of day-to-day roles or shorter placements.

You will be supported by our Headteacher, our Mental Health and Nurture Lead, our strong team of teaching assistants, and other teachers to share ideas with. Wellbeing is a core focus throughout school, workload is monitored and managed to ensure you will be supported.

Our school is an exciting and engaging place with staff who are committed to providing the highest standard of education for every pupil. We believe that every child will succeed at Airy Hill.

Our curriculum:

• Working together so every child succeeds.
• Broad and exciting learning opportunities to achieve the best we can.
• A rights respecting, nurturing and positive learning community.

We pride ourselves on our exceptionally high-standards and academic achievement. To achieve this, our mornings have a focus on reading, writing and mathematics. During the afternoon sessions, our Wider Curriculum focuses on a broad curriculum with many opportunities for school trips and visits. It is our belief that pupils learn best from visiting places and actively learning in their environment.
