What skills and experience we\’re looking for

We are looking for an experienced Key Stage 2 teacher to join our team and work in a job share with our KS 2 teacher. The successful person will need to be a hard‑working, team player who enjoys being part of our school community. If you can offer specific strengths, passions or interests that would be beneficial.

This post has become available as our current teacher is leaving for a promo.

We very much encourage you to come and visit our school to find out more and would be delighted to show you around from 25th November 2025.

Please contact the Head teacher by email head@ireby.cumbria.sch.uk and we will get back to you to arrange a time and date for your visit (if possible, during the school day so you can meet our children and staff).
