We are currently designing a new, irresistible curriculum with high quality texts, sport and the arts at the heart of learning. We want our teachers to have the freedom to use their skills in a range of innovative ways and would be excited to explore this with you further at interview. 

This is a full time post, on a Maternity Cover temporary contract, starting in January 2023. The successful candidate will be based at St Katherine's School & Nursery. This post is suitable for experienced Teachers and NQTs (ECTs) to apply.

  • Have high expectations of both yourself and your pupils.
  • Be passionate about meeting the needs of all children.
  • Have strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Value working in teams and partnerships.
  • Be skilled at fostering independence and pupil-led learning.
  • Be reflective, resilient and ambitious, keen to develop your professional expertise.
  • Engage with all aspects of school life, parents and the wider community.
  • Be committed to ongoing professional development.

In return, we offer:

  • Children who are articulate, great fun, willing and eager to learn.
  • A creative, positive and friendly staff team.
  • A supportive environment where there are many opportunities for professional development.
  • A chance to collaborate with colleagues, with year group partners, as well as local networks and professionals.
  • A large, modern and well-resourced primary school, set in excellent school grounds, where opportunities for high quality outdoor learning are facilitated.
  • An opportunity to share a real, relevant and engaging curriculum.

We are excited to offer you the opportunity to join our team and hope you will want to further explore this with us. Visits to the school are welcomed and encouraged and we would ask you to arrange these with Mrs Rodmell, through the school office.

St. Katherine's School & Nursery is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children.  The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references, health questionnaire etc.

St Katherine's School & Nursery is part of a friendly community, situated in Snodland. Together with Loose Primary School and Coxheath Primary School, it is a member of the Coppice Primary Partnership which is providing many exciting career opportunities for staff to explore.

We have very high expectations for pupil outcomes and support staff with many professional development opportunities to help secure the very best provision for every child. We are committed to working collaboratively with other schools and a Leadership Pathways programme exists for all members of staff with career development opportunities to explore.

We have highly motivated and well behaved children and supportive parents.

Teachers plan and monitor work together in and across year group teams offering mutual support and exchange of ideas. An effective induction process exists for new staff offering a mentor for the first year.

We value sporting activities highly and have extensive grounds and our own indoor swimming pool. The children swim all year round, taught by qualified swimming coaches and leave the school able to swim well.

Information about the federation

Our trust was born out of a genuine desire to secure outstanding provision for all children. The word ‘partnership’ was chosen deliberately as our vision is for schools to work together, building on their own strengths and uniqueness to secure the very best for every child.

We are guided by a set of core principles which support everything we do.

• We are and will remain a primary led trust who understand and appreciate the uniqueness of Primary Education.

• Collaboration supports the identification of best practice and its appropriate dissemination.

• We will be led by primary specialists with experience of leading successfully within the primary sector.

• Excellent academic standards of education will be secured by building on the strong values and ethos in which children are educated within each school.

• Our curriculum, rich with the knowledge and skills that children need will also celebrate sport and the arts, supporting children’s aspirations. Every child’s time at school will be a positive experience and something they will remember fondly for the rest of their lives.

• Our school improvement model is designed to retain expertise within the trust, providing bespoke and timely support as required.

• We invest in our staff by providing high quality professional development to support them in securing the very best provision for our children. We build capacity and will offer opportunities internally where appropriate to encourage staff retention.
