Class Teacher

The Greville is looking to appoint an excellent teacher who is passionate about teaching and working alongside our children. The successful applicant would join the ‘Greville family’ to work in a successful and supportive primary school. Our Ofsted report noted:

‘’Your shared vision of ‘inspire nurture achieve’ sits at the heart of the culture of the school. At the start of the school day, parents made very clear to me that belonging to the ‘Greville family’ mattered to them. They also made clear to me that they appreciate and admire the total loyalty and dedication of your staff team, who are prepared to ‘go the extra mile’ to ensure their children are happy.

The behaviour of pupils I witnessed was never less than exemplary. They were very keen to share their views of the school when asked. They appreciate the care afforded them by staff, telling me that adults always listen to their point of view.

This is a happy school where children enjoy learning, benefiting from good- quality teaching across all curriculum subjects. Provision for sport and the arts is particularly strong.’’

We are a large primary school with two forms of entry at KS1 and four forms of entry at KS2. We have great facilities and school grounds. Working in large year group teams reduces workload and you will have the opportunity to work, learn and plan with experienced and supportive teachers.
