We are looking for an organised, positive and flexible full-time time class teacher, to join our school team from October half term (or we can offer an immediate start).  The position would be to cover 3 days PPA time and, to facilitate flexible working, covering 2 full days in additional classes.  This is a 1 year fixed term position that could lead to a permanent role.

We are a welcoming, happy, committed and hardworking team with a strong belief that well-being and happiness comes first.  We have built an ethos based on mutual respect, emotional regulation, happiness and pride.  Visitors to the school comment on the positive atmosphere, happiness of the children and friendliness of the staff. 

Our recent OFSTED report (March 2023) commented, 'The school’s values of community, diversity and excellence are deeply rooted here. Leaders have built trusting and respectful relationships with every pupil. Pupils receive high-quality pastoral support. They feel happy and safe and are ready to learn.'

We whole heartedly believe that:

"Every child is happy and excited about their learning because they have a strong community committed to supporting and celebrating their individual characters and achievements."

We can offer:

• supportive, enthusiastic and friendly colleagues
• happy, friendly pupils who want to learn
• extensive school grounds, including our own forest school area
• supportive governing body 
• coaching and mentoring for all teachers
• high quality training and collaboration with local schools

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed.

Information about the school

We are a small local primary school who believe in community, diversity and excellence. We are an integral part of the community around us and enjoy the close relationships we have with pupils and their families.

In school, kindness and emotional well-being are at the core of everything we do for the children in our care. The team support each other to enrich pupils' lives with interesting learning experiences tailored to meet children's needs and contexts.

In October 2024, the school was given a Nurturing Schools Award by Nurture UK, in recognition of the work that we do to support children's mental well-being and emotional literacy.

Working at Broadwater you will find colleagues who are positive, supportive and eager to collaborate, striving to achieve the very best for the children in our care. You will find pupils who are curious, friendly and vibrant who have a wide range of cultural backgrounds and experiences which come together to form a magical school community.

We are situated near the Pantiles end of Tunbridge Wells and we are lucky to have a large site with lots of outdoor space such as a field, big playground, class outdoor areas and a courtyard. Currently, we have six classes from Reception to Year 6 with around 130 pupils on roll.

A March 2023 OFSTED inspection graded the school as good in all areas.
