Class Teacher

We, the children at King Athelstan Primary School, are looking for a “Phenomenal Teacher”

Full Time, Maternity Cover (anticipated one year) – Main scale

required from September 2025 - In KS2

We are looking for a wise and talented teacher to teach us the things that we don’t know – yet. We need someone who is confident and thoughtful, with good communication. Our ideal teacher will smile every day and show dedication to our class’s learning.

We would like your teaching to be:

• Interesting and inspirational

• Passionate and engaging

• Resourceful and thoughtful

We need our learning environment to be:

• Happy and organised

• Caring and fair

• Full of surprises

We would like our learning to be:

• Fun and versatile

• Creative and challenging

Our phenomenal new teacher will be confident and have a good sense of humour. Their lessons will be mind-blowing and they will be patient and resourceful if we don’t understand.

The children at our school are pretty special: we are hard workers; our families are from all over the world; we have good manners and we are uniquely friendly; our behaviour is great and we do at least one random act of kindness every day. We are all ambitious and want a teacher who will help us achieve our big dreams.

This position is suitable for an experienced teacher or an ECT and will be in KS2. All class teachers are provided with a laptop to support their ability to work flexibly out of school hours at home. There is free parking on site in our staff car park and we are close to Kingston town centre for public transport links.

Please apply on-line via E-Teach.

Interviews planned to take place on Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd May 2025

Visits to the school by appointment are strongly recommended. Our Co-chairs of the Junior leadership team will be pleased to meet you before a member of our senior leadership team shows you around. We are proud of our school – come as you are and leave us great.
