MEADOW PRIMARY SCHOOL - MOTIVATING PUPILS TO SUCCEED

CLASS TEACHER - MATERNITY COVER YEAR 1

Thank you for your interest in joining the ambitious and forward-thinking team at Meadow Primary School, proud members of the Bourne Education Trust.

At Meadow, we don’t just educate — we ignite potential. Our inclusive, high-energy learning community blends warmth with ambition, creating a calm yet dynamic environment where both pupils and staff genuinely thrive. Every day, our school pulses with curiosity, collaboration and high expectations.

With 585 pupils — including those in our vibrant and much-loved nursery — we are a diverse and nurturing community where achievement and wellbeing go hand in hand. Our most recent inspection by Ofsted (September 2022) recognised us as a ‘good’ school, describing Meadow as:

“A happy school which values every pupil. Pupils go about their school day smiling… Relationships are strong. Pupils show an interest in all they do.”

We are now seeking an exceptional teacher who is ready to make a meaningful impact — someone who combines passion with precision, creativity with clarity, and ambition with heart.

You will:

Champion high standards and accelerate progress for every learner

Demonstrate consistently strong or outstanding teaching practice

Inspire through creativity, energy and professionalism

Thrive in a collaborative team culture

Use assessment intelligently to drive progress

Bring expertise in supporting EAL, SEND and Pupil Premium pupils

In return, you will gain:

Tailored opportunities that develop your strengths and expand your expertise

A genuinely supportive and close-knit team culture

The best of both worlds: the agility of a primary school setting with the strength and shared expertise of a thriving MAT

Access to high-quality professional development, including National College online learning

Clear pathways to shape school improvement while advancing your own career ambitions

Excellent staff benefits, from lifestyle discounts and social events to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme

A strong commitment to wellbeing — including a two-week October half-term

This is more than a teaching post. It’s an opportunity to shape futures — including your own.

If you are driven, reflective, and ready to contribute to a creative and ambitious professional team, we would love to hear from you. Please refer to the Job Pack for further details.

We warmly welcome visits so you can experience the energy and ethos of Meadow first-hand.
