We are currently looking for an experienced teacher to cover maternity leave in our Year 1 and 2 classroom – Hedgehogs. This position will initially be for two terms, with the possibility of extending to three terms. Experience with a SENDCO role would be desirable but is not essential. The role will begin from February half-term and run until September, with a potential extension until Christmas 2026.

If you would like more information, please download the details provided below or contact the school office to arrange an appointment to speak with me directly. All visits are positively welcomed, and I would be delighted to discuss the role and our school community with you.

We look forward to receiving your application and potentially welcoming you to our school family.

Warmest regards
