Class Teacher - St Christopher Primary School

Start Date: 1st September 2026

Class Teacher: This is an exciting opportunity to join a school where teachers can focus on what matters most: teaching.

Our motto, Aim High, underpins everything we do—for our pupils and for our staff. We are a highly organised school with clear systems, strong routines and consistently exemplary pupil behaviour. This means our classrooms are calm, purposeful and focused—allowing teachers to teach well and pupils to learn exceptionally well.

Our pupils are expected to work hard and take pride in their learning. At the same time, we believe school should be a place where children are happy, engaged and enjoy what they are learning. We get the balance right—high expectations, delivered in a positive and purposeful environment.

Just as importantly, we are a school with a genuinely happy and committed staff team. Staff morale is strong because expectations are clear, support is consistent and everyone is pulling in the same direction. People enjoy working here—and that matters.

Our leadership team is highly visible and hands-on. We expect a great deal from our staff, and we hold ourselves to the same high standards. Leaders are present, supportive and actively involved in the life of the school—this is not a place where expectations sit on paper.

Why St Christopher?

• Behaviour is excellent
• Strong systems and organisation
• A happy, supportive staff team –
• Visible, committed leadership –
• A culture of high expectations –
• Collaborative practice –

This is a school with a real sense of purpose. Staff are proud to work here, pupils are engaged, and there is a shared determination to get better every day.

We are looking for an excellent classroom practitioner who:

• Has a genuine passion for teaching and learning—and takes pride in getting it right
• Can deliver lessons that are clear, well-structured and ambitious
• Has high expectations of all pupils and the determination to ensure they meet them
• Is reflective, motivated and committed to continual improvement
• Works well as part of a strong, supportive team
