Fixed Term for 1 term to cover a period of Maternity Leave.

 

Would you like the opportunity to work in an innovative and friendly school, where well-being is at the heart of what we do, and colleagues, children and families work together in a caring community?
 

If so, then we are looking for the right person to cover a period of maternity leave on a fixed term 1 year contract.

 

We are looking for a teacher who is:

• sympathetic to and willing to support the ethos and values of Catholic Education

At St Peter’s we focus on the characteristics of effective learning and the children’s eagerness to be independent in their own learning. Children’s days are a carefully planned blend of teacher-led sessions, small-group work, independent practice tasks and time for children to demonstrate and deepen their learning by choosing how to access a range of opportunities, both inside and outside.
