Advert

Come & join our OUTSTANDING team at Cliftonville Primary & Pre-School. 

Due to our school's expansion we would like to appoint a teacher for the autumn term, September 2020. This role will be 5 afternoons a week and you will be part of a PPA team delivering a range of subjects across all year groups. If you have a particular specialism, please indicate on your application. The ability to teach music would be useful.

It may be possible to start contracts in Term 6 to give you a headstart in getting to know your children.

Our last Ofsted inspection, November 2016, judged all aspects of the school to be outstanding but for us, outstanding doesn't mean perfect and there is still work to be done! 

There are good career progression routes for teachers in the early stages of their careers and high-quality continuing professional development including our bespoke middle leaders programme and nationally accredited courses NPQML/SL/H.  We were asked to contribute to DfE research on CPD, published November 2018, as we have a much higher retention rate of teachers than the national picture.

We are looking for the right candidate to come and join our team and is you have a specific specialism, please indicate on your application.

It is a really exciting place to work and we are at the cutting edge of some very innovative and exemplary practice.  Staff report feeling well-supported and mentoring for newly qualified teachers is excellent.  The senior leadership team tries hard to ensure demands placed on staff are reasonable and proportionate to outcomes for children and that the important job of teaching is genuinely balanced with having a life beyond the school gates.

The school reserves the right to bring forward the closing date if sufficient applications have been received.

Please come and have a look at us in action - just about everyone who visits, no matter what post, applies as our children 'sell the school' much better than any advert!
