Depending on the successful candidate's experience, skills and the responsibilities agreed, this post may be offered on the Upper Pay Scale.

We welcome applications from experienced teachers who can demonstrate leadership potential, a willingness to support colleagues and a commitment to developing practice beyond their own classroom.

Our School and Community

Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do at Long Toft. We are proud to serve a diverse community where many of our children face additional barriers to learning and require a high level of support, including pupils eligible for Pupil Premium and those with complex needs.

We recognise that every child brings their own strengths, experiences and potential, and we are committed to ensuring that all pupils feel safe, valued and able to succeed. Alongside high-quality teaching, we provide a range of additional support for our children and families, helping to build resilience, overcome barriers and create opportunities for the future.

Our school context can be challenging, but it is also incredibly rewarding. We are looking for teachers who understand the importance of relationships, have the resilience and adaptability to meet a wide range of needs, and are motivated by the opportunity to make a genuine difference to children's lives and outcomes.
