Class Teacher - Cape Primary School

They say not all superheroes wear capes - no, they just work here!

Cape Primary School is a vibrant and inclusive primary school based in the heart of Smethwick. We pride ourselves on our wonderful staff, children and community. We are a 'Good' school in all areas in our most recent OFSTED inspection (June 23). Inspectors said that "Pupils are happy at Cape Primary School. They appreciate belonging to a community where they feel cared for and where their differences are celebrated. This is a place where everyone feels included. The 'Cape Eight Values' underpin the curriculum and pupils are proud of the rewards they receive for resilience, kindness and independent learning." We are therefore looking for great teachers to join our team. The position is likely to be in Year 6 in the first instance, so experience of teaching year 6 would be advantageous.

What we would like

• Enthusiasm, commitment, passion & dedication
• A willingness to be innovative and take a risk
• Someone who works hard
• A great communicator who can work well in a team
• Someone with a good sense of humour

What we can offer

• A great team of staff, children and governors
• A school laptop
• Access to ECT induction programme - for ECTs
• Opportunities for continuous professional development
