Would you like to teach in an outstanding school where you can concentrate on being a fantastic teacher?

We are looking for a wonderful, creative, part-time teacher to join our dedicated, welcoming and supportive team from either the start of term three (January 2019) or the start of term 4 (February 2019). This is a fixed-term post, until the end of the academic, involving teaching in Year 5 and possibly other classes within the school. There is some flexibility in duration and timing of the post, but our current intention is that this is for 1 to 1.5 days per week. However, please come and talk to us about the role if you are interested so that we can discuss any flexibility with you.

Our children are fun and energetic, with a real passion for learning. They say that they would like their teacher to be someone who:

  • connects and shares with us
  • loves stories and reading
  • challenges us to think
  • makes things fair
  • is adventurous, calm, interesting and inspiring

At Ryarsh Primary School we can offer you:

  • a school culture which allows you to focus on enjoying teaching
  • a welcoming school, genuinely at the heart of its community
  • a newly improved school environment
  • a creative, supportive and friendly staff team
  • children who are motivated, articulate and great fun
  • excellent opportunities for professional development, within our school and local collaboration
  • flexibility to build on your strengths and talents

We are proud to be a highly successful school, rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Our visitors tell us that our school has a great feel and ethos, living up to our school motto, "forward thinking for a brighter future". Please visit us to experience this for yourself. In your application, we would love to hear about the skills and experience that you would bring to our team.

Ryarsh Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Appointment to the position will be subject to an Enhanced Criminal Records Bureau Disclosure check.

 

Information about the school

Schools across the country will spend a great deal of time analysing the measurable outcomes of children: assessment scores, progress measures, work in books, in-class contributions and conversations, but schools do so much more than that which can be measured. Whilst we are very proud of the high level of outcomes achieved by our children, we place great importance on developing the type of culture that allows children and adults to thrive.

Visitors to our school often tell us that our school has a ‘special feeling’ or a ‘buzz’ when walking around - something which cannot be measured but has to be experienced. We believe that this is created by many reasons, but can be summarised through the explanation that, at Ryarsh Primary School, there is a commonly held view that we are not just a community of learners – we are a ‘family’ of learners. Our community of learners is brought together by circumstance, whereas our family of learners is brought together by relationships.

When you become part of Ryarsh Primary School, you become part of a family which we all take great pride in being part of. In our view, communities are brought together by location, circumstance or shared characteristics. We define ourselves as a family as we are bonded by relationships.

At Ryarsh Primary School, our valued relationships (and principles underpinning these relationships) are a massive contributing factor in the ‘culture of trust’ that we have in our school. A combination of strong relationships and a culture of trust allow our school values (integrity, determination, compassion, unity and respect) to permeate throughout the school and impact on all of our decisions and actions.

Our school is a place where staff are highly valued; empowered to research and try new things; nurtured to support their mental health & wellbeing and challenged to continuously improve.

Within our Ryarsh family, every person, no matter their age, is a learner. As part of our community of learners, we help all minds flourish because every single person is provided with the opportunity to learn, develop and grow. At our school, we are knowledgeable, research based and investigative as this helps to shape our innovative, reflective teaching practices and our continuous drive for improvement.

We take actions that are considered and measured as we listen and empower all stake-holders to be involved in the decisions that matter to them. We appreciate that every single person involved in our school plays a crucial role in the magic weaving that is experienced at Ryarsh Primary School.
