Advert

St Peter's Junior School are looking for the right class teacher to join our happy team in January. 

You could be at the start of your career or come with a proven track record of success – we want to see what you can bring to St Peter’s.

The position is a maternity cover for the remainder of this academic year and this advert may be closed early if we are in the position to fill the post.

We need the right person to be the other half of a job-share in one of our Yr 3 classes, working with us on a Monday and Tuesday each week.

At St Peter’s we genuinely believe that everyone is a learner and all our teachers commit to refine their practice through joint lesson studies, educational research and continued professional development. We are an outward looking and collaborative school. Our Headteacher, Tim Whitehouse, is also the Executive Headteacher of Chislet and Hoath primary schools.

Set in its own leafy grounds between Broadstairs and Margate, St Peter's is a three form entry, popular junior school, rightly judged as Outstanding in our Ofsted inspection almost a year ago.

Our curriculum is a genuine strength at St Peter’s – we work with the Kent and Medway Maths Hub, we hold the Gilt Level Primary Science Quality Mark and the Heritage Schools Award. We have a strong creative curriculum and are hugely proud to have been twice awarded the Platinum Artsmark for our commitment to the arts. Subject specialists teach Music, Art, Drama and PE and our children thrive academically, sportingly, dramatically, artistically, socially and spiritually.

All our teachers work collaboratively – planning together each week in joint year group PPA sessions and as part of one of our curriculum teams.

We have our own forest school, our own dance and drama studio and have recently completed our new arts building.

Our website will give you a much better picture of our school – but we’d love you to book a visit and come and see us in real life!

Information about the school

Our Ofsted inspection in May 2023 judged St Peter's to be an outstanding school in all areas and for the last four years we have been amongst the highest achieving schools in the local area. We pride ourselves on our strengths in art, music, sport and drama where our specialist teachers and performance spaces enable children to really excel.

Although the school was established in 1694 our present building is much newer, having been opened by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1998. We have good links with our local secondary schools. The majority of our children join us in Year 3 from Callis Grange Infants with whom we have a linked admissions policy but also have children from other schools joining us.

We have a warm and caring environment where all children, parents and staff work together as part of a positive learning culture, which enables our children to grow and learn in an atmosphere of true care and respect and develop into young people of whom we can be genuinely proud. This is through the combination of high quality teaching and pastoral care, rooted in our strong Christian values. These values and traditions help children to gain an understanding of society today and help us to prepare them well for life in modern Britain.

Our ‘all round’ curriculum means St Peter’s children flourish academically, artistically, musically, dramatically and on the sports field. We work hard to help each and every child to fulfil their potential as we believe that there is success in every child.

St. Peter's Junior School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy, available on our website.
