Fresh from your training and brimming with ideas? All you need now is a school that will back you every step of the way. That’s exactly what you’ll find at this primary school in Wallsend - a welcoming, values-driven school at the heart of the Wallsend community.

We’re looking for an Early Career Teacher (ECT) to take on a lively, friendly Year 3 class. You’ll be joining a school where staff genuinely pull together and leadership never forgets what it feels like to be starting out.

• A dedicated ECT mentor who has supported several new teachers through their induction
• Weekly CPD sessions plus joint planning with the other KS2 teachers
• A settled Year 3 class who love their history projects and respond brilliantly to clear routines
• A strong community feel
  :
  Family events and strong links with local groups
• A warm ethos where effort and kindness matter just as much as results

• Leading your Year 3 class in core and foundation subjects, with planning support from experienced colleagues
• Embedding clear routines and high expectations while keeping learning fun and accessible
• Encouraging confidence and curiosity through engaging lessons
• Taking part in school life, from assemblies to after‑school clubs – maybe even helping with choir or football if that’s your thing

• UK QTS (or pending) and a genuine enthusiasm for teaching
• A reflective, kind approach to classroom management
• A passion for helping children achieve their best, while keeping joy in learning at the centre
