Teacher (Upper KS2) in Bugthorpe

Bugthorpe Church of England Primary School is a brilliant school family. We are federated with Sutton upon Derwent Church of England Primary School and have staff that work across both sites. We share our Executive Headteacher, SENCo, Business Manager and Environmental Tutor (Gardening and Forest Schools Teacher). We work together as one to deliver a creative curriculum that inspires our pupils to ‘follow their pathways and grow with confidence’. Both schools received a ‘Good’ Ofsted Inspection in 2022; Bugthorpe received a very positive SIAMS inspection report in November 2023.

Our Federation:

• Follow a shared curriculum;
• Have staff meetings together on Microsoft Teams, to share planning, resources and best practice;
• Work in Subject Leadership Teams together across the Federation;
• Share a school minibus which we utilise for educational visits, and to visit each other’s class in the sister school;
• Share policies and procedures.

All of this collaborative work enables both pupils and adults to flourish in our small, rural schools.

Our Class system: Class 1 (Nursery and Reception); Class 2 (Years 1 and 2); Class 3 (Years 3 and 4) and Class 4 (Years 5 and 6). This job is to be the Class Teacher in our Year 5 and 6 classroom. We are delighted to offer the following role in our school for September 2026: We are seeking to appoint a motivated and passionate Year 5 and 6 Class Teacher, who will have the expertise to support our pupils to grow with confidence before transitioning to secondary school. Therefore, this role is not suitable for ECTs at this time. This will be based at Bugthorpe CE Primary School on a fixed-term contract until 31.8.27, full time. We are collaborating with another local school, and hope for this role to continue beyond this fixed-term date.

• Enthusiastic children who love learning.
• A vibrant, hardworking and supportive staff team.
• Smaller than average class sizes. Our PAN is 15.
• High quality teaching resources and a superb learning environment in a beautiful village location.
• Opportunities to develop leadership across two/three school sites.
