Primary Teacher

We are looking for a great teacher to join us. Working flexibly across the school to provide high-quality teaching and cover support, you will play a vital role in releasing teachers for key responsibilities and creating additional capacity for our team.

Kirk Sandall Junior School is a 7-11 school set in the heart of its community. We are a proud member of the Brighter Futures Learning Partnership Multi-Academy Trust and we have a friendly and supportive Local Governing Body. We secured 'strong' in all aspects of our recent Ofsted inspection (April 2026).

We value every child who attends our school, and the relationship that we have built with Kirk Sandall Infants to ensure that we have created a nurturing environment where children can flourish as they continue to develop a love of learning and ‘Be confident. Be inspired. Belong’ .

We are fortunate to have an excellent team of practitioners who are relentless in their ambition to provide the best possible education for our children.

Furthermore, we aim to work in collaboration with parents, pupils and members of the community to make sure we keep evolving and developing to ensure that excellence is at the heart of everything that we strive to achieve.

Our ambitious curriculum has been carefully developed to ensure the children make the most of every learning opportunity.

We believe in inclusive, active and creative learning that engages all of the children, whilst celebrating equality and diversity. We focus heavily on high quality teaching and learning, which not only centres on developing key skills through the curriculum, but also on producing independent and responsible future global citizens.

We can offer you:

An opportunity to be part of a highly motivated team, committed to the very best outcomes for children

A supportive local governing board and trust

Happy children who are keen to do well and learn

A supportive community and families

Professional development for all

We are looking for someone who:

• Has recent experience of working with children in KS2
• Is hardworking, patient, calm and has a good sense of humour
• Can work effectively as part of a wider team, including being a Midday Supervisor
