Advert

High Firs is a popular, one-form entry, school (207 on role) where our pupils are happily engaged in learning. We are proud that Ofsted graded us as “Good” in all areas in our last (July 2014) inspection.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, caring and devoted teacher, with a proven history of excellent teaching, either in placement or in post, to join our teaching team. You will have the opportunity to work alongside our dedicated and supportive staff with our well-behaved, friendly and hardworking children to raise standards and promote a safe, happy and stimulating learning environment. We pride ourselves that our school is a happy and safe place in which to learn – could you be the right person to join our team?

High Firs is committed to supporting the professional development of our staff and full appraisal and induction processes are already in place. The post is suitable for applications from both NQTs and more experienced teachers. No year group has yet been confirmed for the post as we are keen to maximise on the strengths and skills of our new staff member, alongside that of our current staff. The post is therefore being advertised as for a KS1 or KS2 teacher.

Visits to the school are encouraged and we would be very pleased to show you around and to discuss the vacancy with you prior to your application.

Information about the school

High Firs Primary School is a popular one-form entry Community Primary School for boys and girls aged between 4+ and 11 years (number on role: 210). The school is set in an attractive estate off Goldsel Road in Swanley. The school is easily reached from the main road by a series of paths between the houses and linking roads for ease of access.

The school is set in pleasant surroundings with shrubs and trees. The children have a playground, with opportunities for both games and quieter activities, and an adjoining playing field which they use for both playtime and PE. Our grounds have recently been enhanced by the development of a woodland area into an exciting outdoor learning area.

In addition to woodland adventures, our children are now benefitting from Tilly, our school dog and lessons for younger children in bike riding as well as swimming. We pride ourselves in our provision that is designed to cater for a wide range of different learning styles and character types, such that our school genuinely feels like one big, happy family.

High Firs is supported by both our Governing Body and the Friends of High Firs Primary School Association. Pupils are well supported by parents, and we are very proud of the standards of behaviour set at the school.
