This role would suit both Early Career Teachers and experienced Teachers.

‘Our vision is for every child in a SOLA school to be included, to know that they are important and to acquire and develop the tools, character and values that will enable them to be happy, to contribute, and to thrive throughout their lives.’

We can offer you:

• happy children with a positive attitude to learning;

• hardworking, dedicated colleagues working in a positive, supportive environment;

• supportive governors committed to the success of the school;

• an attractive learning environment in spacious, well maintained grounds;

• opportunities to be challenged and develop professionally.

The successful candidate will be expected to be fully committed to the values, vision, ethos and aims of the Trust and the school s/he will be assigned to.
