Required for September 2026

At Ravensthorpe CE (VC) Junior School, we believe every child deserves to flourish academically, socially and spiritually. We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed Class Teacher to join our warm, inclusive and ambitious school community on a fixed-term full-time basis until August 2026, with the potential for the role to extend beyond this date subject to budget.

Situated at the heart of a richly diverse community, our four-form entry Church school is a place where children feel safe, valued and inspired to achieve their very best.

We are incredibly proud of the progress our pupils make during their time with us, reflected in consistently strong SATs results and recognised in our 2023 Ofsted inspection, where we were graded Good. Inspectors described our school as:

“Pupils are safe and happy at this friendly, welcoming school. Their conduct is exemplary in lessons and around school.”

Our Christian values and strong sense of spirituality underpin all that we do, creating a nurturing and highly inclusive environment where both pupils and staff are encouraged to grow, thrive and succeed.

We are looking for a highly motivated and reflective teacher who:

• has high expectations for all learners
• can inspire, challenge and nurture every pupil
• is committed to working collaboratively as part of a supportive team

Applications are warmly welcomed from Early Career Teachers (ECTs) as well as experienced practitioners.

What We Offer

• A welcoming Church school at the heart of a vibrant and diverse community
• Enthusiastic, motivated children who love learning and enjoy coming to school
• Supportive families and strong home-school partnerships
• A stimulating, attractive and well-resourced learning environment
• A caring and dedicated staff team committed to professional growth and wellbeing
• A creative and engaging curriculum designed to inspire every learner

If you are looking for a school where you can make a genuine impact, develop professionally and become part of a warm and ambitious community, we would love to hear from you.
