ECTs and Experienced Teachers Welcome

Could this be the opportunity you've been waiting for?

Opportunities to join the team at Fernhurst Junior School do not come along very often. Thanks to our committed and stable staff team, vacancies are rare. We are therefore delighted to be recruiting a Class Teacher to join us from January 2027.

We warmly welcome applications from Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking to begin their teaching journey in a highly supportive environment, as well as experienced teachers seeking a role within a collaborative, ambitious and nurturing school community.

At Fernhurst, our vision is "Together Towards Success". We believe that every child matters and every child deserves to be known, valued and supported to achieve their full potential. We are looking for a teacher who shares these values and is passionate about making a lasting difference to children's lives.

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Has high expectations and an unwavering belief that every child can succeed.
• Is committed to inclusive practice, ensuring every pupil feels a sense of belonging and can thrive.
• Understands the principles of adaptive teaching, responding effectively to the diverse strengths and needs of learners.
• Builds warm, positive relationships with pupils, families and colleagues.
• Creates a classroom culture where children feel safe, respected and inspired to learn.
• Is reflective, resilient and committed to continually improving their practice.
• Brings enthusiasm, positivity and a genuine commitment to helping every child achieve success.
• Shares our belief that strong relationships, excellent teaching and high aspirations change lives.

We can offer:

• A rare opportunity to join a welcoming and highly experienced team.
• Excellent support and professional development for teachers at every stage of their career.
• A comprehensive and nurturing induction programme for ECTs.
• Wonderful children who are eager to learn and make us proud every day.
• A strong culture of collaboration, coaching and continuous improvement.
• Leaders who prioritise staff wellbeing and professional growth.
• The opportunity to play a key role in a school where children and relationships are at the heart of everything we do.

If you are excited by the prospect of working in a school where staff genuinely work Together Towards Success, and where every child is encouraged to flourish both academically and personally, we would love to hear from you. Visits are welcome, please email [email protected] to arrange.

Rare vacancy. Exceptional children. Wonderful team. Endless potential.
