Are you an enthusiastic and dedicated Early Career Teacher looking to begin your teaching journey in a supportive and welcoming environment?

This warm and welcoming primary school is recruiting ECTs to join their team from September 2026.

This is a wonderful opportunity to start your teaching career in a nurturing school where well‑behaved children, a strong community feel, and excellent ECT support come as standard.

This primary school is a wonderful place to start your teaching career. With its close‑knit community and nurturing ethos, the school offers a warm and welcoming environment where both children and staff feel valued, supported, and inspired.

The school prides itself on its strong family atmosphere, where every child is known, celebrated, and encouraged to reach their full potential. With a roll of around 100 pupils, class sizes are small, allowing for high levels of individual attention, strong relationships, and a calm, focused learning environment.

The leadership team is deeply committed to staff development and wellbeing. Early Career Teachers are provided with a highly supportive induction, led by experienced mentors who are passionate about helping new teachers thrive. There’s a genuine open‑door policy and a collaborative approach to teaching and learning, where ideas are shared, innovation is encouraged, and everyone’s voice is heard.

• Well‑behaved and enthusiastic pupils – a joy to teach and support
• Inclusive and child‑centred approach – every child’s strengths are recognised
