Class Teacher (M1 - M6)

Hamilton Primary School Colchester Where Research Meets Practice and Teachers Thrive.

Are you tired of "teaching to the same old plans" and ready to lead with research?

At Hamilton Primary, we don't just manage behaviour; we inspire minds. We are seeking a passionate, forward-thinking Class Teacher who values professional freedom and is eager to shape the future of our curriculum through evidence-based practice.

What Makes Hamilton Different?
We understand that to give your best to the children, you need to feel supported and valued. Our comprehensive benefits package includes:

● Teacher Autonomy: The freedom to innovate and apply educational research in your classroom.

● Built-in Support: Dedicated classroom support every morning and access to in-house Speech & Language and Play Therapists.

● Your Wellbeing Matters: We provide regular supervision to support your mental health and professional growth.

● Leadership Development: Regular out-of-class release time to lead a subject and innovate curriculum thinking.

● A Vibrant Community: Brilliant children, a "forward-thinking" staff room, and a culture of laughter.

● A strong sense of social responsibility.

● AI aware: A forward thinking school that encourages the use of AI to support teaching and learning.

At Hamilton, social responsibility is embedded in everything we do. We empower our staff and children to be kind, safe, and responsible citizens who give back more to society than they take.

The Ideal Candidate
You are an excellent practitioner (or an ambitious ECT) who possesses:

● A "research-lead" mindset-you love reading up on pedagogy and testing new ideas.

● A solution-oriented approach and the confidence to challenge the status quo.

● A great sense of humour and a drive to become a future leader in education.

Ready to see us in action? Visits to the school are strongly encouraged. Come meet the team and see why Hamilton is a thriving place to work.
