Class Teacher Year 5

The Governors and Headteacher at Moorfield Primary School are seeking to appoint an inspirational classroom practitioner to work in our Year 5 team for up to three terms covering a maternity leave. This would be an ideal post for an ECT looking to complete two to three terms of their induction period; however, the post is also open to experienced teachers.

The successful candidate will join our hardworking, happy, nurturing and inclusive school and share our commitment to achieving the highest possible standards for all our children and a commitment to working as part of a team. The appropriate person will be able to work and plan collaboratively, have excellent knowledge of the national curriculum and show a passion for learning through creative, practical and investigative experiences. We are looking for an inspirational teacher who adds excitement to the children's learning, maximising resources to appeal to all learners.

Please make clear in the application your strengths, interests, teaching experience and subject leader experience (if applicable).

Moorfield is a diverse, inclusive and welcoming school community. Our children enjoy learning and appreciate the nurturing ethos of our school. We have a dedicated hard working team of talented and caring staff and a fully supportive and active governing body.

• A stimulating and positive working learning environment in a school due to undergo substantial refurbishment
• An inclusive, welcoming and diverse school community with children who are enthusiastic and eager to learn
• A dedicated, caring, supportive and enthusiastic team of staff and governors
