About the role:

We have a vacancy for a passionate and caring teacher to join our Federation family.

The Heritage Coast Federation, consisting of Hawsker-cum-Stainsacre Primary School and Fylingdales Primary School, are seeking to appoint an outstanding class teacher to start 13th April 2026. This position is based at Hawsker cum Stainsacre C of E Primary and will be based in EYFS/KS1 in the first instance, but we are looking for candidates who would be willing to work across the Primary Age range.

The Heritage Coast Federation schools have a supportive, hardworking staff; bringing together two village schools under one Executive Head Teacher and one Governing Body. Our Federation brings lots of opportunities for collaboration, development and professional expansion. We are a warm, inclusive family school with a strong Christian ethos, a sense of community and a commitment to excellence for all of the children in our care. We aim to ensure that our children feel safe, happy and achieve their potential as a unique individual and as a learner. Christian values are at the heart of all that we do and the school’s Christian vision of ‘Flourish, Succeed and Let Your Light Shine’ is embedded in the daily life of the school. We expect the very best from our children and in return, we aim to give them the very best education.

In this way, you will need to be:

• Determined and inspirational; demonstrating a passion and love for the children you work with and a strong desire to make a positive difference to children’s lives.
• A teacher who has the passion and ambition to achieve high standards and provides the care and support to ensure every child achieves their very best.
• A team player who recognises the joy and challenges of working in a small, busy village school, including playing a significant role in leading the school’s curriculum.
• Willing to support the Christian ethos of the school
• Willing to learn and be keen to access CPD to further develop understanding of how to effectively support the progress of our amazing children.

In return, we can offer:

• A happy school, underpinned by our Church of England ethos, where everyone is valued and respected.

• Motivated and happy children who are at the centre of all we do. They show excellent behaviours, a thirst for learning and are encouraged by their supportive parents and
• A supportive, dedicated and professional full staff team, who work closely to achieve the best for our children and each other.
• A commitment to outstanding professional development with cross-Federation opportunities.
• A supportive, exciting and inspiring environment in which to work, learn and develop

 

Although the post is currently based at Hawsker cum Stainsacre C of E Primary school, successful candidates will be offered a Federated contract which means that they have the capacity to experience both schools and may be asked to work in either school.
