About this role
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.
