Job description

The Vacancy

Our current combined class 5/6 (pupils age 10-12) will need a new Class Teacher from September 2024, as sadly their current teacher is relocating for personal reasons. The post could start earlier to allow some overlap.

This post may be particularly suitable for a previous Steiner-Waldorf Class Teacher who enjoys working with emerging adolescents and who is seeking a short-term commitment than the full 7-year class teaching experience.

Class teachers are usually appointed on a full-time basis and as well as teaching the daily main lesson to their own class children, they also teach subject lessons to other classes, depending on the needs of the school and the skills each teacher is able to offer.

Safeguarding

Norwich Steiner School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the health, safety and wellbeing of all children and young people in the school, and expect all staff to share that commitment. All appointments whether paid or voluntary are subject to evidence of the person being suitable and appropriate to work with children through our safer recruitment process of application, collection of references and the carrying out of checks through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and other safeguarding checks as appropriate

About Norwich Steiner School

The school has always had a strong vision, which has guided its development and ethos: “To provide a Steiner-Waldorf curriculum for pupils from age 3- 19 years of age, with pupils being able to leave the school as balanced, well-rounded and mature young adults, able to pursue their own futures and destinies with confidence and self-belief.”

Norwich Steiner School is a young school. It grew from just three pupils in 2005, to around 100 pupils covering an age range of 3-19 years by 2017.

The school is free from the National Curriculum, SATS, GCSEs and A Levels.

It follows the Steiner-Waldorf curriculum throughout the whole school and in all lessons, and is successfully offering the New Zealand based Level 3 qualification ‘the New Zealand Certificate of Steiner Education (NZCSE), to pupils age 16 and above. Whilst the school is now well established, it retains a strong sense of being pioneering and the atmosphere is open and friendly.
