Form of workFir Tree is a vibrant, successful two form entry Junior School in the town of Wallingford, south Oxfordshire. 235 pupils are on roll (Year 3 – Year 6). The Thameside town of Wallingford has excellent road links with Oxford, Reading and the surrounding south Oxfordshire towns and villages.
A rare opportunity to join our team as a Teacher has arisen. This Part Time role (1.5 days a week) will commence in September 2024 and will be, in the first instance, for 12 months, though there is potential for this to become permanent. The successful candidate will be deployed in Lower Key Stage 2, and, working alongside highly skilled professionals, will wake up each morning with the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of children they teach, while at the same time working in a school which values the professional development of all its staff.
Visitors to our school routinely comment on the calm and purposeful environment we have created, underpinned by the values of respect, friendship, tolerance, courage, perseverance and responsibility. Teaching and learning at Fir Tree is characterised by warm relationships, high expectations and a clear and coherent way of following approaches that make a difference in the classroom. Sensible polices around feedback, planning and assessment are in place, and in a recent staff survey, this contributed to 100% of teaching staff agreeing with the statement ‘School leaders take workload into account when developing and implementing new policies’.
As part of the Oxford Diocesan School Trust, we are firmly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
