Want a great job in a great school in a great location?
You will have to work hard here, but only on things that make a difference: we don’t do meaningless paperwork; we don’t grade lessons or monitor your planning. Instead of marking we give feedback in lessons. We are always trying to find better ways to do our work. We only recruit people who are passionate about making a difference to children’s lives, people who challenge themselves to keep on improving. This means our working relationships can be relatively relaxed and informal. People love working here; we are warm, welcoming, positive, supportive and forward thinking. Our innovative approaches means that teachers from Bristol and beyond come to see our work in practice, so expect to welcome visitors into your classroom.
You will be joining a 3-form entry community school, with an inclusive and multi-cultural ethos based in the diverse Lockleaze area of North Bristol. Our community includes pupils and staff from a range of different cultures – all are welcome. We work together to foster children who are collaborative, aspirational, respectful and focused on learning, as well as academically successful.
We are looking for a teacher who:
- Has a proven record of success as a class teacher and expertise in empowering children to make rapid progress.
- Demonstrates optimism about children and expects the highest possible standards.
- Nurtures pupils’ emotional wellbeing.
We offer you:
- Sensible and successful systems, based on research, with a commitment to reduce workload wherever possible.
- A positive, warm and welcoming working environment.
- Experienced, intelligent, supportive colleagues.
- Family-friendly working practices.
