We have a vastly experienced and friendly team who provide the best care and guidance to our children, and we are looking for a friendly, committed individual to join us.  We can offer excellent support to those early on in their career, but we are also keen to accept applications from experienced teachers.  The salary is negotiable up to UPS3, dependent on experience, and we can offer opportunities for subject or middle leadership, e.g. Phase Leader, Year Group Leader.  We are ideally seeking a full time teacher, but we are open to receiving applications from candidates who would be interested in working 4 days a week.
