KS2 Maternity cover teacher full time

KS2 Maternity cover for Summer term 2026 or earlier
Closing date 6th February 2026
We are looking for an experienced teacher to cover maternity leave in our ’warm and ‘welcoming’ school (OFSTED).
We are lucky to teach great children who are well- behaved and keen to learn. Our school has been refurbished and expanded in recent years, as a result we benefit from a spacious and attractive environment. Our team is especially friendly, and we offer many opportunities to collaborate with colleagues. We have a genuine commitment to work- life balance. Our staff feel supported and know that any decisions made by school leaders have their well-being at heart. This was recognised in our last inspection.
‘Staff feel valued. This is because leaders, including governors, provide good support. Staff are very positive about the actions taken to reduce their workload.
At Oakdale we take pride in ensuring staff well-being comes first. We make sure that we offer a range of ways to reduce stress and workload and ensure everyone feels supported and valued; from regular staff treats and events, flexible release time, manageable marking, no expectation to run clubs, team working for leadership and planning activities, days off in lieu for attendance at residentials, and many more!
If you are interested in finding out more about the role, we would be happy to have an informal chat. We welcome visits to the school at any time.
Please contact the office and ask for Naomi Griffiths or Hannah Fletcher to arrange a visit or a call from the Head (Ilona Wrigley) or Deputy (Kirsti Britton) to chat about the role. Application packs can be downloaded from the school website. Please include a covering letter based on the person specification.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will require enhanced DBS clearance.
