Primary Teacher (Upper Key Stage 2) - Letchworth, Hertfordshire

Our client, a welcoming and community-focused primary school, is seeking a motivated and adaptable Primary Teacher to join their team. The year group can be tailored to suit the successful candidate’s strengths, experience, and interests, with a particular need currently in Upper Key Stage 2 (Years 5 or 6).

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a one-form entry school where children are at the heart of everything. The school is driven by a strong ethos centred on building confidence and encouraging pupils to aim high. Staff are passionate about ensuring every child not only achieves well academically but also develops the self-belief needed to succeed in life.

The school is looking for a teacher whose purpose is rooted in making a genuine difference. They value professionals who are committed, reflective, and ambitious—for both their pupils and their own career development.

There is a strong focus on staff development, and the leadership team is keen to nurture individual strengths. Whether you have a subject specialism or an area you’re looking to grow, you will be well supported in achieving your professional goals. For the right candidate, there may also be a Teaching and Learning Responsibility (TLR) available.

The Role:

As a Class Teacher, you will play a central role in delivering high-quality teaching and learning. You will be responsible for the progress and wellbeing of all pupils in your class, including those with Special Educational Needs, English as an Additional Language, more able learners, and those eligible for additional funding support.

You will benefit from coaching and mentoring from experienced leaders, ensuring you feel supported and confident in your role.

The school has high expectations for both academic achievement and behaviour, alongside a broad and engaging curriculum. It is an inclusive environment where every child is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. A growth mindset underpins teaching and learning, with an emphasis on opportunity rather than limitation—pupils are not labelled or grouped by perceived ability, but instead are empowered to take ownership of their learning.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

• Experience teaching in Upper Key Stage 2 (desirable)
• Strong knowledge of the Key Stage 2 curriculum
• High expectations of pupils and themselves
• A reflective and proactive approach to teaching
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Strong organisational abilities
• Creativity and enthusiasm for engaging teaching and learning
• A good sense of humour and a positive attitude
