We are looking to appoint a maternity cover teacher to join our amazing team! We are a small school federation that is made up of two small schools. Hampstead Norreys CE Primary School where the job is based, and The Ilsleys Primary School.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our small friendly village primary school. We enjoy working together and offer a structured professional development programme for all our teachers, as well as providing an inspiring curriculum where we offer high quality learning experiences for pupils.

can offer the following:

• High expectations and standards of yourself and your pupils
• Experience of Early Years practice would be desirable
• Excellent communication skills where you can work as part of a team
• Exemplary classroom practice where you are passionate about teaching and learning
• An ability to inspire and motivate

If this is you, we can offer:

• Cheerful children who love their school
• Friendly and supportive staff
• Opportunity to flourish in a caring and positive environment
• A team constantly striving to ensure all our children have fun whilst learning
• Commitment to continued professional development where all staff work together as a team
• Supportive and dedicated parents

You will primarily be based at Hampstead Norreys CE School but occasional travel to The Ilsleys School may be required.

If you are interested in this position, please ensure that you visit our school and see it for yourself. Please contact the school office (office@hn.w-berks.sch.uk or 01635 201371) for further information, an application pack and to arrange an appointment with the Executive Headteacher.
