Year 1 Class Teacher

Burnley Primary School

2 form entry primary school

KS1 experience in essential

NQT/RQT/FQT all welcome to apply

A school just outside the Burnley town centre have approached Teaching Personnel in order to source, shortlist and appoint a Year 1 experienced Primary Teacher to start after the May half-term. The applying candidates must have QTS and recent experience in KS1, preferably Year 1. It is also important that you are able to evidence using a range of behaviour strategies and how you have raised standards in a primary classroom.  The school is a two-form entry primary and due to this you will be able to plan alongside the adjacent class teacher. The role is to cover a permanent gap in staffing that will need to be filled by a school contract within the next 12 months.

The school in Burnley which requires the Year 1 teacher are currently maintaining a ‘Good’ Ofsted grading from 2018 and are hoping to continue this. The school has a mixed catchment area and is noted as a ‘vulnerable’ school by the LEA and does have some challenging children attending school. It is important that the applying candidate has a range of behaviour strategies and that you can evidence schools you have taught in over the past years and how you have impacted on learning.

The head teacher has been in post for over six years and possesses a commitment to the children in their care; ensuring they are safe; they learn to their potential and they are given every opportunity to grow in confidence and socially. The head is keen to break down barriers in learning, barriers such as ‘challenging backgrounds’, children from ‘socially deprived backgrounds’ and other children who do not speak ‘English as their First Language’. The school is not a faith school so is not a necessity to be affiliated with a church to be considered/successful in this role. The Head teacher is also keen to see applying CVs and then arrange for an interview and trial lesson in preparation for the role. Ideally they will appoint before the half-term and conduct a transition week with the existing class teacher.

The role will be to take effect from June 2021 and be to work as the full-time, year 1 class teacher, five days a week. The role will continue for the entirety of the academic year and roll into the new school year (with the view to a temp to perm opportunity). The Head teacher has also mentioned that they are happy to receive application from all teachers and have the capacity to support NQT years and also pay higher salaries to attract experienced teachers.
