We have an exciting opening to appoint a highly motivated and enthusiastic Class Teacher to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to share our passion and vision to nurture children to be active citizens.
Southroyd is a fantastic community school where OFSTED have recognised our children’s outstanding behaviour and note that ‘Teachers work hard to make learning exciting and fun. Lessons are interesting. Pupils show a real love of learning.’ We are a Good school, on its journey towards Outstanding. We have developed our own excellent curriculum, which Ofsted describes as an ‘exciting and well-planned curriculum that ensures pupils are ready and eager to learn.’
We offer a unique learning community for staff and children, with an emphasis on personal development and a real and relevant curriculum to bring learning for life alive. We have an established and flourishing forest schools’ progression from Nursery to year 6, an excellent sporting reputation based on our commitment to Active Learning and opportunity - and a flexible curriculum that allows teachers to be creative, responsive and own their teaching.
We are an exciting, ambitious place to work and we thrive on developing people to be their best! Our team really enjoy working at Southroyd, with 100% agreeing that our ‘school has a supportive culture and ethos in which they can flourish’ (latest staff survey).

We look forward to helping you really excel in your career.

We're committed to raising attainment and accelerating progress through effective pedagogy, a comprehensive curriculum and rigour in everything we do. We want our children to make memories, engage in the exciting world we live in – and leave us as Active Citizens.
