What skills and experience we're looking for
Join our fantastic school as we strive to fulfil our vision for all children to enjoy their rights and fulfil their dreams.
The Governors are seeking to appoint a Class Teacher with excellent subject knowledge, compassion and drive who can make a real difference to pupils’ lives. As a Rights Respecting Gold Award school, we would like our teachers to share our values and approaches, with a commitment to be a rights bearer for all children. We are on a journey to seek Arts Mark accreditation, so staff who are passionate for the arts and music are very welcome!
What the school offers its staff
We can offer you an inclusive school with amazing children who are keen to learn and grow, a committed and dedicated staff team with positive attitudes to teaching and learning and a very supportive Governing Board. St. Benedict’s has been judged as ‘Good’ again by Ofsted (January 2023) and we are very proud of the latest report. Teacher development is a real priority and staff here benefit from links we have to other organisations and high-quality CPD. This is a rare opportunity to join our amazing team – teacher jobs do not come up often here!
