Job description
Class Teachers – Year 2 and Year 6
Start Date: September 2025
Potential opportunity for Year Group Leadership available within a three-form-entry year group. If you are interested in this responsibility, please indicate it clearly in your application.
We are seeking passionate and driven teachers to join our vibrant primary school community. Located on the east side of Southampton, our school has recently benefited from a purpose-built junior wing (2020) and a full site renovation (2024), creating an inspiring environment for both staff and pupils.
As a proud member of a dynamic school partnership, we collaborate across settings to share leadership, teaching expertise, and curriculum innovation—placing children at the heart of everything we do.
What Sets Us Apart?
People First
We value mindset over pedigree. While qualifications are important, we prioritise teachers who bring resilience, integrity, and a strong commitment to children's success.
Future-Focused Learning
We invest heavily in educational technology to enrich learning experiences. From virtual reality field trips to the integration of AI in lesson planning, we harness innovation to level the playing field and ignite curiosity.
Professional Growth
Ongoing development is central to our ethos. Coaching is a daily practice, and leadership is hands-on and fully involved in classroom life. Whether it’s through NPQs, subject-specific training, or postgraduate study, we support our staff to thrive and grow.
Curriculum Approach
We deliver a carefully sequenced and expertly curated curriculum, known as Lion Pathways. Over 800 non-core lessons are pre-planned, freeing teachers to focus on adapting content to meet the unique needs of their pupils—without weekend burnout.
To support effective teaching:
-
Children are grouped by ability for certain subjects to streamline planning and maximise impact.
-
Afternoon sessions are taught in mixed-ability groups to foster inclusive learning experiences.
-
All pupils enjoy exciting, well-planned trips—every year group visits London and participates in a range of cultural, historical, and geographical excursions.
Investing in You
We believe great teachers need great support. Whether you're aiming for an NPQ, pursuing a Master’s, or exploring subject specialism, we’re here to back your professional journey.
Recent staff development includes:
-
NPQ in SEND and Behaviour
-
Leadership participation in Teach First’s ‘Leading Together’ programme
If you’re enthusiastic, reflective, and ready to make a lasting difference, we’d love to hear from you.
