Job Description:

Elm Wood is an inclusive and vibrant school, located at the heart of our local community. We value and celebrate our local ties, building strong partnerships with all our stakeholders. At Elm Wood Primary, we ensure that our values, through our Elm Wood Promises: Perseverance and Resilience, Success and Excellence, Kindness and Respect are at the heart of our interactions and relationships with our entire school community.

At Elm Wood, we affirm the boundless potential of every individual to achieve excellence. We seek to establish rich learning opportunities, which inspire progress, celebrate effort and challenge underachievement. We are relentless in our efforts to remove barriers to all children achieving. We consider the well-being and empowerment of our children, as central to this aim. Our work is to ensure that Elm Wood children can identify examples of excellence around them and that they are able to recognise their own brilliance in these examples.

As a school community we believe we are most empowered when every child, irrespective of background is able to build their self-esteem, by recognising excellence in themselves. During current and future challenges, we remain determined to maintain and refine our practice as a wholly inclusive place of learning. We are and will continue to be an environment within which every child not only feels happy and safe but also has opportunity to thrive.

At Elm Wood, we value the voices of all members of our school partnership. We enjoy a rich tradition of parental support and professional dialogue, toward maximising positive outcomes for children. Our curriculum and vision is broad, balanced, relevant and 'futures-focused'. We seek to support our children in their journey as lifelong learners, through enriching exchanges and an environment that is attractive, stimulating and inspiring.

We continue to dedicate ourselves toward providing rich opportunities for learning in the present, whilst preparing our children for dynamic and successful futures in an ever-changing world.

We are an ambitious family of schools and are keen to recruit the very best teachers to join our fantastic team.

We are looking for:

• Inspirational teachers who bring commitment, enthusiasm and energy to this post
• Teachers who are generous with their time because they want the very best outcomes for pupils
• Staff with ambition and determination to be the best they can be in whatever direction they want their career to go – we provide the opportunities and welcome ambition
• Teachers who want to be professionally respected, well supported and developed
• Creative people who can think 'out of the box' and contribute to our vision
• Teachers who see solutions rather than problems and who embrace teamwork

We believe that adults who never want to stop learning themselves inspire that same desire in our pupils. We are looking for talented teachers to further enrich our organisation and develop our practice; our teachers use their expertise to innovate, improve, and drive our schools forward. If you are keen to continue developing your learning and skills, we can offer outstanding opportunities both within our schools and beyond.
