Advert

We are looking for a new teacher to join our Ryarsh family and become an integral part of the staff team at our successful school.

This role is class based for three days per week on a temporary contract until the end of the 2021-2022 academic year.

At Ryarsh, our culture and ethos is built around a foundation of nurture. You will have the opportunity to join a school that places both the children and staff at the heart of everything it does.

Our curriculum is broad and exciting, promoting a love of many subjects. Over the period of national lockdown, we have provided our children with a range of events, including:

  • Cultural events – Burns night, St David’s Day, Chinese New Year
  • Arts events – A Lion King themed day (including a workshop form a member of the theatre show) & a dance workshop with Robin Windsor (formally a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing)
  • An aerobic workout for our children and families led by Mr Motivator.

Our school motto is ‘forward thinking for a brighter future’ and we embrace this entirely. We reflect, we debate and discuss (often through academic research and collaboration with others) and we learn – just like our children. Our school is a community of learners regardless of age.

At Ryarsh Primary School we have happy, articulate and confident children who constantly demonstrate high levels of learning behaviours and a desire to learn. This means that you have the opportunity to constantly develop your craft as an educator, as you can focus entirely on improving the teaching and learning in your classroom.

We are looking for:

  • A fantastic classroom practitioner who is able to lead by example
  • A great role model for both colleagues and children
  • Able to lead, motivate and inspire children and adults based on a foundation of strong relationships
  • Creative, fun, energetic and wanting to make a difference
  • Looking to develop your skills and career

Some of what we can offer you:

  • A chance to learn and grow as both a teacher and leader through varied opportunities for professional development informed by the latest in academic research
  • A culture of trust based on the understanding that every teacher is the leader of their own classroom
  • A school that cares about staff well-being and workload so that you have the conditions that enable you to take immense joy from your working life

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.
