Advert

Northbourne CEP School are looking to welcome a new class teacher to our small team, to cover a maternity leave, starting September 2024.

• Are you an excellent practitioner with a passion for creating inspiring learning opportunities?
• Do you have the commitment, enthusiasm and initiative to develop your practice beyond the classroom and into our surrounding rural environment?
• Do you value the importance of working in a friendly, effective team?
• Can you contribute to wider school life and make a positive impact on our welcoming community?

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team of dedicated staff who work hard to ensure that every child is supported and challenged to aspire to be the best they can be. We pride ourselves on the nurturing atmosphere and Christian ethos that is experienced by everyone who works in, or visits our school.

We are a small, rural church school, with 5 classes; however, we operate within a larger, dynamic Multi Academy Trust.

This unique and exciting collaboration of local schools are working together to ensure the very best outcomes for all pupils and their families within our town. Whilst your teaching post will be at Northbourne, your contract will be with DEALT.

If you are looking for an exciting new opportunity, we would love to welcome you to our unique, rural setting.

Visits to the school are warmly encouraged. Should you have any further queries or arrange a visit to the school, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Berridge, our school secretary, on 01304 611376 or email secretary@northbourne-cep.kent.sch.uk
