Primary Teacher Full Time

This role is a very specific primary role that feeds into our Middle School which allows for a supportive transition from the Primary to Secondary model. Our Year 5 team all have a home room class, but also specialise in a core subject area that they teach to all of Year 5. This allows our students to transition into having different teachers, while also enabling teachers to specialise in an area they feel most confident in. This role is for a primary teacher who would like to specialise in either English, Maths or Science with a Year 5 cohort.
