KS2 Class Teacher - Birkenshaw CE(C) Primary School

(Fixed term until 31st December 2022 but could be extended) 

Due to changes in staffing, the children, staff and Governors wish to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated and capable teacher to play a key role in the development of our school. 

Birkenshaw CE (C) Primary School is a thriving, happy and popular school with an excellent reputation in the local community. ‘Leaders have created an exciting place to learn.’ We are a good school and ‘the pupils at Birkenshaw are very positive about their school. The well-being of pupils is at the heart of all the school does.’

(OFSTED April 2022) 

We are a large and friendly staff team, who support each other’s professional development and we work closely with other schools in the area. We have spacious grounds with playgrounds, a ball court, adventure equipment, a woodland area, kitchen garden and a pond. We offer a wide range of curriculum enrichment opportunities as well as a variety of extra-curricular after school clubs. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff are subject to an enhanced DBS check. A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.
