Job Description:

About the School:

Lowton St Mary’s CE Primary School and Nursery is an ‘excellent’ (SIAMs, March 2022) Church of England Primary School. Our vision is to be Bold, Strong and Courageous (Joshua 1:9). We are a ‘good’ school (Ofsted, January 2025) on a journey to becoming ‘even better’. We emphasize Dylan Wiliam’s five key strategies for effective formative assessment, linked to Rosenshine’s Principles for Learning.

Role Overview:

We seek a highly effective classroom practitioner who fosters a culture where all children become effective learners. We believe learning occurs over time through dialogue, sharing prior knowledge, exploring, discovering, and creating new meaning. Teaching happens \’in time\’ and learning \’over time\’.

Our Educational Philosophy:

Learning leads to long-term memory change, involving forgetting, revising, consolidating, extending, and applying knowledge across contexts. Children need to think critically and engage with challenging concepts. Learning is intentionally demanding.

Support and Development:

We value research and teacher development, supporting staff through coaching, workload management, and promoting work-life balance.

Application Process:

Completed applications should be emailed to [emailprotected] marked for Mr. Sherriff, Headteacher. School tours can be arranged by calling 01942 769710. We may conduct online searches on shortlisted candidates as part of due diligence.

For further information, contact the school at 01942 769710 or via email at [emailprotected]. Visit our website: https://lowtonstmarysceprimary.net/.
