Teacher Year Three InitiallyCouncil

We are looking for an incredible teacher to join our community.

Here at Northstead Community Primary school, we provide a welcoming, friendly and vibrant education setting for our staff and children. As a three-form primary school located on the north side of Scarborough, within walking distance of Peasholm Park and the magnificent North Bay, you will join a large staff team who will support and challenge you in your practice.

Being part of Northstead means being part of a team that believes we can always do better. Since September 2022, we have worked hard to create a culture where staff learn from one another, collaborate openly and take collective responsibility for improving the experiences and outcomes of our pupils.

Professional development is central to life at Northstead. We invest in our staff through coaching, mentoring, collaborative professional learning and a strong culture of sharing effective practice. We want colleagues to feel supported, challenged and trusted to develop their practice, with opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. Our approach is simple: great schools are built by great people who learn together and support each other.

We have made significant progress as a school. We have strengthened our leadership, revitalised our curriculum, developed our EYFS provision and learning environments, and continued to improve the quality and consistency of teaching. This has translated into stronger outcomes for our pupils and a school culture in which high expectations are increasingly embedded.

Our recent Ofsted inspection highlighted all these improvements.

We have developed a strong culture of learning, behaviour and community, with pupils increasingly understanding the importance of effort, positive attitudes and taking responsibility for themselves and others. This has translated into outcomes in all statutory measures being in line with or above national averages.

However, our success is not simply measured in data. It is about the people who make Northstead what it is. We are a hardworking, supportive and ambitious team who value collaboration, professional curiosity and the sharing of ideas. We celebrate success, learn from what does not work and continually look for ways to improve.

We are proud of the progress we have made, but we are not standing still. If you want to work in a school where you will be supported, developed, listened to and expected to make a difference, Northstead is a place where you can thrive.

We are looking to appoint an individual who is highly motivated to join our school, work with our children, and provide the guidance and support they need to be the best they can be. Each role is different in school and so the flexibility to be able to work across school is a necessity. The successful candidate will work initially in our year three team.

We encourage applications from candidates who have a passion for education and wish to work in a setting which offers reward and challenge. A resilient, robust and positive approach to working with children and adults is a must.
