What will I be doing?

We are seeking a professional who has experience in KS2 and has successful experience of the crucial transitions from Year 2 into year 3. Our ideal new teacher will be a professional totally committed to teamwork, ensuring every child and adult can be the best version of themselves.

As a small school, we often rely on creativity and flexibility of our staff to solve challenges… genuinely, no two days are the same!

If you are seeking a new post that allows you to know your children and families very closely, allowing you to have a substantial impact on a community, we want to hear from you.

If you think you could join us on our journey and genuinely contribute to transforming Teaching and Learning for our community, please do come and visit us for a school tour and exploration of our ambitions with Connel Boyle, our Executive Headteacher. To arrange a visit please contact Connel via connel.boyle@threesaints.bwmat.org

What is in it for me?

Our School is a three class small school with a staff who support each other in everything. We are proud of our school and our adults have high expectations of all pupils and our wonderful children live up to these expectations. Our children demonstrate our school’s values of ‘courage, kindness and respect.’ As a result, there is a happy, calm and purposeful learning environment where both adults and children thrive.

All of our curriculum is carefully planned and sequenced for our school and you will be joining a fun and established teaching team.

We have developed an exciting curriculum offer for our children. Our curriculum is well resourced and we have a number of online planning and assessment tools to support workload. We have invested in these resources to enable our teachers to concentrate on being the best versions of themselves in the classroom.

We are fortunate to have the ongoing support and backing of the Bath and Wells MAT to assist us in making our high aspirations a reality and we have access to excellent CPD opportunities for staff.
