Job Description

We are seeking to appoint a class teacher to come and join our friendly team and inspire our children. This post is for an April start at the beginning of the Summer Term and will be in our Year 5/6 class for at least the first year.

Salary will be paid according to appropriate experience and qualifications. NQTs and experienced teachers are encouraged to apply.

We provide all teachers with effective opportunities for professional development. If you come and join our team you will be joining one that works hard for the good of all our children and one that enjoys cake, chocolates and 'chippy Fridays'!

All our team work together to help children develop well in every way. This is reflected in all sorts of ways including:

· Academic progress which is improving

· An exciting curriculum which offers children great learning opportunities in and out of school. For example, in the Autumn Term, when learning about the Stone Age, one class undertook a local visit, made Stone Age shelters in the school grounds and, on a wood fire, cooked 'Stone Age' stew, venison and snails

· Our children's strong development in PE, supported by our Sports Coach

· The small group teaching, for English and mathematics, that they now receive when in Years 5 and 6.

As you consider applying for our post we encourage you to come for an informal visit and a conversation with me or our Deputy Headteacher, Mr Phil Holton. We also suggest that you visit our website.

Information about the School

Stourview CofE Primary Academy is an exciting and forward-thinking primary school located in Mistley, Essex.

Formerly known as Mistley Norman, we are undergoing a significant transformation as part of the government's School Rebuilding Programme. While our state-of-the-art new building is under construction, our pupils are thriving in a modern modular facility that ensures continuity and quality in their education.

As part of our evolution, we recently joined Canonium Learning Trust, a dynamic and supportive education trust specialising in small, rural, and village schools across North and Mid Essex. This partnership strengthens our commitment to delivering exceptional education while fostering collaboration and professional development for our staff.

As a proud Church of England school, guided by the vision to educate for "life in all its fullness" (John 10:10), our school places equal importance on spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, moral, and social development. We aim to nurture knowledgeable, thoughtful, and articulate individuals equipped with the values and cultural capital to succeed in an ever-evolving world.

At Stourview, we are proud of our inclusive and welcoming community, underpinned by our core Christian values of respect, compassion, honesty, perseverance, and responsibility. Our ambitious vision, coupled with the support of Canonium Learning Trust, marks the start of an exciting new era for our school, staff, and pupils.

Joining our team means being part of a supportive, collaborative environment where you can help shape the future of our school and inspire the next generation.
