We want every child to feel that they belong, to develop the confidence to persevere when things are difficult and to show kindness and compassion towards others.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, caring and committed teacher to join our team from January 2027, teaching in Year 6 for two days each week, this will including tutoring.

- will support and contribute to our Christian ethos and school values;
- brings enthusiasm, warmth and a sense of humour to school life.
