Windmill Primary School is situated in Brookside, Telford. We are part of Community Academies Trust (CAT) and we work closely with other CAT schools, particularly those in Telford: Grange Park Primary School and The Telford Park, The Telford Langley and The Telford Priory secondary schools.
We are seeking to recruit a class teacher on a permanent contract. The successful candidate will be willing to teach in any year group, from Reception to Year 6, but we are likely to ask them to teach in Reception, Year 3 or Year 5 for the 2022-23 academic year, depending on their preference.
Each class at Windmill has a full-time cover supervisor, who works to support the teacher and the children, stepping in to supervise the class in the teacher’s absence. The classrooms are well-equipped with a laptop each for the teacher and cover supervisor, three wall-mounted screens for easy access by children wherever they are sitting. Teachers are guaranteed PPA time for one afternoon each week, during which time the class have a Music lesson and a PE lesson led by qualified staff.
We love to work with people who are fully committed and hardworking, but also friendly and fun. Our school values* underpin everything we do, and our aim is to give children the best possible start to the rest of their lives.
