Detail

Laxton Junior School

At Laxton Junior School, our children and their learning are the centre of all that we do. In a caring and supportive environment, they become exceptional, lifelong learners, who confidently embrace the wide-ranging opportunities that we offer and are able to face challenges with determination and resilience. We believe that all learning opportunities should be challenging, inspiring and engaging and, through our talented and passionate staff, we ensure this contributes to fantastic progress across and beyond the curriculum. As a non-selective school, the personalised learning programmes that we have in place ensure that all our children, from those with additional learning needs to those working beyond age-related expectations, receive the perfect balance of support and challenge, alongside a sense of fun and enjoyment that must accompany the school experience.

The Role

The role requires a teacher with a strong curriculum knowledge, able to deliver consistently high quality lessons. In addition, the ideal candidate will play an active role in our Games programme, supporting pupils to develop their physical skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship. A positive and proactive approach to behaviour management, alongside the ability to foster excellent relationships with children, parents, and colleagues, is essential.

This is an exciting opportunity for a talented, committed, and inspiring educator who brings both passion and a forward-thinking approach to their practice. The successful candidate will join a welcoming, collaborative, and highly motivated team of teachers, teaching assistants, and support staff, all united in our mission to help children grow into confident, capable, and compassionate young people, fully prepared for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
