Class Teacher

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 two other community schools we 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.

• Demonstrates optimism about children and expects the highest possible

learning standards.

• Nurtures pupils’ emotional wellbeing to ensure successful educational

outcomes.

We offer you:

• Sensible and successful systems, based on research, with a commitment to

reduce workload.

• Carefully targeted training to help grow your teaching skills.
• A positive, warm and welcoming working environment.
• Experienced, intelligent, lively colleagues. • A fantastic rural location in Sussex.
