This post is part time, fixed term to 31st August 2025 and 3 days per week (Wednesday – Friday).

We are seeking to appoint a Year 6 teacher with excellent subject knowledge and a successful track record to join Central Walker Church of England Primary School from September 2024.

You will have experience of creating a positive, purposeful and safe learning environment where learners can thrive, and you will work alongside an existing Year 6 teacher for 3 days per week.

Our school is one of seven primary and secondary schools within the NEAT Academy Trust family of schools.

We have a national research school, which aims to build and strengthen networks of schools throughout the region and help them access effective education research and implement it in everyday practice.

We are an inclusive Church of England Primary School, acknowledging the rich, cultural diversity of our community. Our ethos is based on the Christian Values that we all need to help us lead a good and purposeful life. We recognise that all our children have immeasurable potential and that it is our responsibility to ensure they are given every opportunity to flourish as successful individuals. We will endeavour to achieve this by providing an environment where all children can demonstrate a love of learning, a love of life – a place for them to thrive and shine within a Christian setting.

In return we offer:

• Great opportunities for continuing professional development and a career pathway across the trust.
• A team of hardworking, dedicated and friendly staff where everyone is valued.
• The benefit of working in a highly collaborative multi academy trust.
• Membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme which the trust also contributes to on your behalf.
