Class Teacher

St Michael’s Primary School, Withyham

Part-time Class Teacher Vacancy (3 days a week) - To start September 2026

Main Pay Scale 1 – 6 This post is open to Early Career Teachers.

Closing date: 9.00a.m: 10 June 2026 interviews w/c 15 June 2026

We are looking for a flexible and skilled classroom practitioner with sound knowledge of

adapting teaching in class to meet a range of needs.

St Michael’s is a small rural community school. We aim to recruit hardworking,

dedicated teachers who are passionate about making a difference to children’s

lives, people who challenge themselves to keep on improving. This means our

working relationships can be relatively relaxed and informal. People love working at

St Michael’s; we are warm, welcoming, positive, supportive and always looking

forward with the other community schools we regularly collaborate with. You will have to

work hard but only on the things that make a difference to the children we teach and

nurture.

You will be joining a small team that makes the best use of our environment to

ensure high quality learning outcomes. As a community school (we are not a

Church of England School) we have pupils from the village of Withyham and the

surrounding area (20 minutes away from Tunbridge Wells).

All are welcome including those with a faith and those with none. We work together

to foster children who are academically successful as well as compassionate,

curious and collaborative.

We are looking for a teacher who:

• Has a proven record of success and expertise in empowering children to

make rapid progress in previous posts or on teaching practice.

• Demonstrates optimism about children and expects the highest possible

learning standards from all.

• Nurtures pupils’ emotional wellbeing to ensure successful educational

outcomes.
