At our school, we believe learning should be meaningful, joyful, and a little bit magical. We nurture curious minds and creative hearts — and we’re looking for someone who shares that belief.

The Role

As our new KS2 Class Teacher, you’ll create exciting and engaging lessons that spark curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of learning. You'll be more than a teacher — you'll be a guide, a cheerleader, and a builder of confidence.

As English Lead, you’ll:

Drive the development of an inclusive, inspiring English curriculum.
Support colleagues with creative ideas and strategies for teaching English.
Foster a whole-school love of reading and writing — from phonics to poetry!
Bring bold, imaginative thinking to how we teach literacy and engage every learner.

We’re Looking For Someone Who:

Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
Has a genuine love for English — and wants to pass it on!
Delivers high-quality, creative, and purposeful lessons.
Is a team player who’s open to sharing and learning.
Brings energy, leadership, and vision to the English Lead role.
Is committed to inclusion, kindness, and student wellbeing.
Can juggle challenges with a sense of humour and a growth mindset.

Why Join Us?

You'll be part of a supportive and motivated team in a school that values joy, imagination, and ambition. You’ll have room to lead, grow, and make a lasting impact. Plus, Salisbury’s not a bad place to spend your weekends — think beautiful countryside, rich culture, and great coffee spots!
