An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone to join our established staff team. The children, staff and Governors wish to recruit an enthusiastic, highly motivated and capable Key Stage One teacher to play a key role in the development of our school.
Birkenshaw CE (C) Primary School is a thriving, happy and popular school with an excellent reputation in the local community.
‘Leaders have created an exciting place to learn.’ We are a good school’ and ‘the pupils at Birkenshaw are very positive about their school. The well-being of pupils is at the heart of all the school does.’
(OFSTED April 2022)
We are a large and friendly staff team, who support each other’s professional development and we work closely with other schools in the area. We have spacious grounds with playgrounds, a ball court, adventure equipment, a woodland area, kitchen garden and a pond. We offer a wide range of curriculum enrichment opportunities as well as a variety of extra-curricular after school clubs.
‘Parents and carers are extremely positive about the school and its staff. They hold leaders in very high regard. Staff report an open culture where leaders routinely consider workload and wellbeing. Staff value the training and professional development opportunities provided, particularly their work with other local partner schools.’ (OFSTED April 2026)
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff are subject to an enhanced DBS check. A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.
Applications are welcomed from both newly qualified and experienced teachers.
