Class Teacher

Sun Hill Junior School is a one-and-a-half-form entry school for pupils aged 7-11, serving the market town of Alresford. Most pupils transfer from Sun Hill Infant School, which shares the same site. The school converted to academy status in September 2017 and is part of Vita Multi Academy Trust. The most recent inspection in November 2021 judged the school to be Good.

The current number on roll is 144. A specialist SEMH Resource Provision opened in Summer 2025 with six places and is planned to expand to nine places in 2026-27.

We are looking to recruit two class teachers on 12 month fixed term contracts to start in September 2026. One is a full time position, the other is 0.4 FTE. The successful candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day work and management of an assigned class and the safety and welfare of the pupils, during on-site and off-site activities.

As a School we are passionate about giving our children a love of learning. Through our STARS values we aim to develop each child's strengths but also help them achieve in areas they find challenging. We encourage these behaviours with all the members of our school community in order to establish a culture that is inspirational to all that visit and work with us.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools

We currently do not use AI tools in our recruitment processes; however, we understand that you may choose to use AI tools to help you with your application.

If you do, please remember:

• AI-generated answers can often be generic and impersonal, which may not accurately reflect your qualifications, skills, and experiences.
• AI-generated applications may lack the personal touch that human-written applications have, this may make you seem less engaged or interested.
• Ensure the information provided genuinely represents your own voice and experience.
• You must not provide false or misleading information.
• If you rely too heavily on AI you might not develop the necessary skills to communicate your experiences and qualifications effectively in interviews or other stages of the hiring process. This may make you come across to the interviewer as a different person to the one that wrote the application form, and you may not be successful in the interview.
