Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of young learners? We are a welcoming village primary school, part of a dynamic multi academy trust, dedicated to providing a nurturing and inclusive environment for all our pupils.

Just as importantly, you will understand the value of building meaningful and positive relationships with pupils, taking the time to know the children you teach and creating a classroom culture where every child feels valued and able to flourish.
Strong relationships extend beyond the classroom at Huncote, so we are looking for someone who will communicate openly and positively with parents, carers and colleagues, working in partnership with others to achieve the best possible outcomes for our pupils.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who:
• Is passionate about supporting children and young people.
• Has high expectations of themselves and others.
