Class Teacher

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY USING THE DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL WEBSITE, PLEASE SEE DETAILS BELOW

A fantastic opportunity has arisen in our Federation of two schools and we are looking for a temporary class teacher (one year) to join our happy and supportive team, starting in September 2025.

We have a wonderfully vibrant school community, and we have recently embarked on an exciting new journey with new leadership.

The year group you will be teaching is flexible to meet the skills of each individual candidate, whether that be EYFS, KS1 or KS2. These vacancies have become available following a staffing restructure.

Are you an excellent classroom practitioner, who is dedicated to improving the life chances of children?

We are looking for a classroom teacher to join our happy and committed team, to help nurture the belief in our children that they can genuinely achieve anything they put their minds to.

We passionately believe that all children, whatever their individual circumstances, should feel secure, included, valued and challenged in all aspects of school life by being at the centre of every action and decision we make. We strive to enable our children to leave The Park Schools Federation as skilled and well-rounded individuals, successfully prepared to take on the challenge of secondary school and adulthood.

Is this a vision that you share? If so, we are looking for someone who:

• genuinely enjoys working with children and puts the children’s well-being before anything else.
• has the ability to make learning fun and engaging whilst ensuring all children are appropriately challenged.
• approaches teaching with enthusiasm and a positive attitude.
• has high expectations of all children’s achievement and behaviour.
• has the ability to lead and inspire children and staff.
• has ideas and energy.
• sincerely values every member of the school community.
• is eager to make a wider contribution to school life.

In return we can offer you the opportunity to work in a large popular village school with friendly and dedicated staff, charming children and the opportunity to be part of our whole school community. We have a strong commitment to ensuring your well-being, including personal ‘passport’ days in term time, and a learning environment which is full of potential!

If you are keen to be part of our very special team, please do request further details.

Visits to our school are warmly welcomed to see the wealth of fantastic learning facilities we provide, for example our Forest School has to be seen to be believed!
