At St Lawrence we agree but know to do great work you need to be part of a great team. We are looking for three, dynamic, enthusiastic and creative teachers who will complement our happy, professional school team and bring new ideas. One of these posts will be a permanent position, ideally in Key Stage 2 in the first instance, and the other two posts are to cover maternity leave. We are looking to appoint excellent outstanding primary teachers, or NQTs who show the potential to be outstanding, with positions available in Foundation Stage, Key Stage One and Key Stage Two. All three positions are available from the start of the Summer Term 2018 but a September start would be possible if you bring the St Lawrence 'magic!'
St Lawrence is a 'Thunking' school and we regularly ask questions to stop children and adults in their tracks and help them to start looking at the world in a whole new light. How would you answer the following 'thunks'?
If you changed your job would the old you still exist?
Can change make you happy?
Do ideas come from inside or outside your head?
Would you rather be a brave fool or a clever coward?
Is it ever right to blow your own trumpet?
Is happiness something you find or something you have?
If you find yourself thinking deeply about our questions then perhaps you are ready for a new career path and you may be interested in joining our forward thinking team.
We know it is likely that you will have lots of questions for us too, so visits to our school are very warmly welcomed; please call the school office on 01206 728517 to arrange an appointment or request an application pack. Adventure is waiting …
