Richard Lee Primary School is a school with a great future!

This is a fantastic opportunity for a good teacher who is looking for the next step in their development. We are offering a scholarship package, alongside the teaching post, for a suitable candidate. This is an exciting opportunity for a primary school teacher in KS1 or KS2.

As a Trust and as a school, we pride ourselves on being the kind of place that people want to work in where everyone recognises the buzz of excitement and togetherness, whatever stage they are at in their career. We are focused upon impacting positively upon our children and we want them to be proud of themselves and proud of their achievements by the time they leave Richard Lee and move onto the next stage in their learning journey. So why not come and join our team!

• Is a highly motivated, innovative and highly effective teacher of Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2 with a willingness to teach across both phases

• Has an inclusive ethos with children at the heart of teaching and learning

• Has the ability to inspire, and enthuse

• Is a reflective practitioner who is keen to learn and develop as a leader.

• Has a strong commitment to working in partnership with parents, Governors and the community

• Annual Learning & Teaching Conference for all Teaching Staff.

We are proud to be part of Castle Phoenix Trust. This facilitates an opportunity to play to your strengths and provide excellent collaboration between colleagues and leaders, access to effective CPD and the chance to develop professionally. The Trust is committed to invest in and develop all staff and, most importantly, bring about the best possible outcomes for our students who deserve the very best.
