Hours: Full-time

Contract type: Fixed-term contract, with the potential to become permanent for the right candidate

Start date: August 2026

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced and motivated Key Stage 2 Teacher to join the team at Lift Beacon. This is a key role within the school, supporting pupils in their final years of primary education and preparing them for a successful transition to secondary school.

Your New School

Lift Beacon is a thriving primary academy in Loughborough, serving children aged 2-11. The school was graded 'Good' in all areas by Ofsted in 2021 and has continued to go from strength to strength.

As an IQM (Inclusion Quality Mark) Centre of Excellence, the school is deeply committed to inclusive practice and ensuring every child feels supported to succeed. At Lift Beacon, we believe every pupil deserves an excellent education every day, underpinned by high expectations, a broad and enriching curriculum and a strong focus on personal development.

In January 2024, the school welcomed an ambitious Principal, Mr Ben Kilgannon, who lives locally and is passionate about the school, its staff and the community it serves. As a hands-on leader, he is committed to building a collaborative culture and developing staff so that every pupil can reach their full potential.

Your New Role

Key Stage 2 is an important and rewarding phase in our pupils' education as they prepare for the transition to secondary school. As a KS2 Teacher, you will play a crucial role in ensuring pupils leave primary school confident, well-prepared and proud of their achievements.

You will deliver high-quality teaching that secures strong outcomes for pupils, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics, while maintaining a broad and engaging curriculum. You will work closely with colleagues and senior leaders to support pupils both academically and personally during this important stage.

This role would suit an experienced teacher who is confident teaching in Key Stage 2, particularly Upper KS2, and who has a strong understanding of preparing pupils for statutory assessments and transition to secondary education.

What You'll Need to Succeed

You will be an experienced, qualified teacher who is passionate about supporting pupils to achieve their best.

You will:

• Have proven experience teaching in Key Stage 2, ideally Upper KS2
• Demonstrate strong subject knowledge, particularly in English and mathematics
• Be confident in preparing pupils for assessments while maintaining a broad and engaging curriculum
• Have high expectations of pupils' behaviour, progress and achievement
• Build positive relationships with pupils, families and colleagues
• Work collaboratively as part of a supportive and ambitious staff team

We will review applications and interview as soon as possible, so early applications are encouraged.
