EYFS/KS1 CLASS TEACHER – MATERNITY LEAVE (MPS 1-6)

EYFS/KS1 CLASS TEACHER – MATERNITY LEAVE (MPS 1-6)
80% Monday to Thursday.

We are looking for a well-qualified and experienced professional who is passionate about teaching to join our successful school on a temporary contract to cover a maternity leave as from September 2026.

We are seeking a fun, forward thinking practitioner, who will inspire our imaginative children to achieve their full potential. Applicants should be able to bring new and exciting ideas to the school, be highly motivated and have a commitment to ensuring pupil progress.

We are a two form entry primary school with extended school facilities. We have enthusiastic children, supportive parents and governors, as well as positive engagement with other local schools and the wider community. You will be part of a friendly, helpful, hardworking team based in a well-resourced building in the developing town of Cambourne.

There is a strong commitment to continuing professional development and there are many opportunities to contribute to the ongoing development of the school.

Our children and families are assisted by a Family Support Worker and Pupil Premium Champion, and we are a partner school with Blue Smile.

We had our Ofsted in June 2024, which rated us good. “Overwhelmingly, pupils are happy to be at Monkfield Park. They are kept safe in school and work positively with adults. Pupils get on with each other very well, and any disputes between them are quickly settled. Most behave very well in lessons and around the school. They benefit from being supported by teachers and teaching assistants, who are kind and who work very well together, to make sure that activities are adapted in a way that fully includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This helps pupils with SEND achieve as well as their peers. Pupils learn in well-organised classrooms. They can play in attractive outdoor spaces, which are also used imaginatively for learning.”

Monkfield Park Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The above post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
