CLASS TEACHER

Required January 2025

Main Pay Scale/Upper Pay Scale

St Edward’s is a very special place with a distinctive Christian ethos. Following our Ofsted inspection in October 2024, we were judged Outstanding in all areas – a reflection of the dedication of our excellent teachers, support staff, governors, parents and, of course, our enthusiastic and caring children. Together, we create a vibrant and engaging community in which to work, teach and learn.

Whilst we are inclusive in appointing staff of all faiths and none, we require all staff to uphold and participate in the Christian life of our school.

We are excited to offer the opportunity for a Class Teacher to join our team, initially to teach in KS2. With very low staff turnover, this is a rare and exciting chance to become part of our school family.

We are looking for someone with:

• Very high expectations of themselves and the children they teach.

• A commitment to providing the very best education.

• A willingness to contribute to the wider life of the school.

At St Edward’s, professional development is a real strength. In recent years, our teaching staff have completed the NPQLT (National Postgraduate Qualification in Leading Teaching) and several colleagues have also completed NPQSL and NPQH. Whatever your stage, you can be assured of strong support and encouragement from our leadership team.

We are open to tailoring the role for the right candidate, making this an excellent opportunity for either an ECT at the start of their career or an experienced teacher seeking a fresh challenge and the chance to step into a role where you can have a wider impact across the school. Applicants with existing TLR responsibilities will also be considered.

We are also deeply committed to staff wellbeing. We recognise the benefits of flexible working and welcome applications from those seeking part-time roles. If this applies to you, please state your preference clearly in your personal statement.

If you would like to find out more about this opportunity, or to arrange a visit to our warm and welcoming school, please contact David Kendrick-White (PA to the Headteacher) on 01708 745971 or at contact@stedwardsva.net.

Closing date for applications: Monday 29th September 2025 at 12noon
