Are you an enthusiastic and skilled teacher, ready to take the next step in your career in one of the most exciting and rewarding teaching environments in Oxford?  Do you see yourself working in a supportive and friendly team, that is on a mission to make a lasting positive difference to children’s lives? We are looking for a great teacher to join us to teach in key stage 1 from September: whether you are looking for your first teaching post, or for your next career step, if you want to make a real difference to children’s lives we’d love to hear from you.

Wood Farm Primary is a vibrant and thriving school on the outskirts of the city, and our key stage 1 team is made up of four classes and includes class teachers, teaching assistants and specialist reading support. We are looking for an enthusiastic, confident teacher who has high expectations for themselves and for children and who is passionate about learning. Already recognized as a good school with outstanding leadership we are always reaching higher – we’re proud to be a place where all members of the school community strive to be the best they can be. This is an opportunity to join an energetic, talented and highly supportive team that can offer you: 

• A strong commitment to your professional development, whatever your career stage.
• A supportive team, with the opportunity to plan and work with key-stage colleagues and with class support from our large team of skilled teaching assistants.
• A beautiful working environment, in new buildings.
• Friendly, happy children, who love learning – and the chance to make a real difference to their lives.

Our teachers in Year 1 and 2 work closely with colleagues in Reception and key stage 2, and you’ll be supported by our Reading Leader to be a first-rate teacher of reading and phonics - and to create a classroom environment that puts the love of books and reading at the heart of everything you do.
