Class Teacher

Do you believe every child can achieve when they feel they belong and receive the right support? We are looking for a caring and ambitious class teacher to join our team at St Clement’s CE Primary School, a one-form-entry school in Leysdown and part of Aquila, The Diocese of Canterbury Academies Trust.

About the role

You will use inspirational and inclusive teaching strategies to spark curiosity and help every child participate and succeed. You will plan purposeful lessons with clear learning intentions, model new learning and check pupils’ understanding so you can respond to gaps. You will work with colleagues to adapt teaching and use practical resources and scaffolds that help all pupils, including those with SEND, access an ambitious curriculum and become increasingly independent.
