Class Teacher

What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you a resilient, evidence-informed teacher with high expectations of yourself and your pupils?

At St. George’s CE Primary School, our vision is rooted in

Jeremiah 29

we are fiercely committed to ensuring every child can “prosper and flourish in God’s wisdom.” We serve a highly diverse, inner-city community representing over 42 languages and multiple faiths. Many of our children face complex societal challenges but we do not make excuses. We have high expectations, rigorous academics and radical inclusion.

We are seeking a class teacher who embodies professional 'grit', consistently meets all UK Teachers' Standards, and has the pedagogical expertise to push our pupils not just to the National Average but to 'Greater Depth'.

About the Role & Our Pedagogy

At St. George’s, we have a culture of sharing good practice, learning from one another and developing consistency across the school. Our classroom doors are always open. As a teacher here, you will:

•

Deliver Academic Rigour (Standards 1-4)

Provide exceptional, evidence-informed instruction. We are an accredited 'Gold' training school for the Sounds-Write phonics programme and for Talk for Writing; you will use cognitive science to make learning stick.

• Champion

Inclusion (Standards 5 & 6)

Deliver high-quality Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP). We believe in "Equity over Equality"—you will adapt your environment so that children with SEND, EAL or SEMH needs can access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.

•

Master Trauma-Informed Behaviour (Standard 7)

We view behaviour as communication. You will use our "Calm School Code" (Speak nicely,Listen carefully, Act kindly, Move calmly) and our consistent "Board Game" system to help children self-manage with dignity.

Further details about the role

About You (Our Staff Culture)

Working at St. George’s is demanding but it is deeply rewarding for the right person. To thrive here, you must align with our "Power of 3" staff culture:

•

Leave it at the gate

We bring our best, most professional selves to the children every day.

•

Be solution-focused

If something isn't working, we collaborate to fix it.

•

Protect the culture

We lift one another up, looking for solutions and support rather than moaning and blaming others.

You must be comfortable championing our Church of England ethos while ensuring that every child, regardless of their background or faith, feels "known, loved and valued." You must also possess the emotional regulation to speak "truth with love" when navigating challenging conversations with parents.

Commitment to safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check. Please note that we do not accept CVs
