At Danby Wood School, you will find a warm and friendly atmosphere, with a purposeful learning environment. We aim to provide happy and supportive surroundings for the children in our care and have in place a wide range of learning experiences to ensure the full growth and development of the child, physically, intellectually, socially and morally.

We have a well-established proactive staff team that is committed to the education of the whole child.

We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and passionate Primary Class Teacher to join our school. This position will require flexibility in working across classes and key stages as required to meet the needs of the school and its pupils.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our school as it continues its journey of providing engaging learning environments, learning experiences and support for its families.

Danby Wood School is part of Unity Education Trust, which provides education for Norfolk children across all age ranges, including mainstream, specialist provision, SEND and complex needs.

• Is able to work effectively as part of a team.
• Is an inspiring and creative classroom practitioner.
• Is able to establish positive relationships with children, parents and staff.
• Is willing to contribute to the common goals of the school and Unity Education Trust.
• Has experience of Early Years practice, which would be an advantage in supporting the needs of some pupils across the school.
• Has experience of working with, or a commitment to supporting, children with SEND.

We can offer

• A supportive team and engaging environment.
• An excellent environment in which to develop professionally.
• Kind, confident and engaging children.
• A team of enthusiastic, dedicated and high-performing staff.
• Supportive Governors, Trustees and parents.
• All the advantages of a successful academy trust, with a friendly and strong central team of support, teaching and leadership staff.
