PPA Cover Teacher

Required for September 2024 fixed term initially for 12 months due to pupil numbers 

Part time PPA Cover Teacher

Salary: MPR pro rata 

The governors of Brough Community Primary School are looking to appoint a PPA cover teacher to join our lovely and thriving village school, from September 2024. The post will be for one afternoon in our fabulous Acorns Class, comprising Reception and Year 1 pupils.  The post would be suitable for all teaching applicants, from Early Career Teachers to experienced practitioners.  We are also happy to hear from qualified Higher Level Teaching Assistants, who could take the class with appropriate support and planning in place.  Please have a look at our website to get a feel for the school: www.broughschool.org .

Brough Community Primary School is a thriving, successful school with a great staff team.  We are rated ‘Good in all areas’ by Ofsted (2019) and are national leaders in online learning.  Our curriculum offer celebrates our local environment – we are a passionate Eco-School and are recent Cumbria Eco-forum’s Within School Action award winners

This is an exciting opportunity for any teacher seeking to work in a progressive, caring school which is at the heart of its community.  We are also conscious that jobs are two-way processes and it would be just as important to hear what you would also like to get from us as a school – we are committed to delivering high-quality CPD for all staff!  As well as this one half day per week, there would inevitably be need to call upon trusted staff for extra cover periods and we would hope this appointment would be our first port of call for those requests.

The successful candidate will:
•Be an enthusiastic practitioner, keen to take on a mixed Year R/1 class (approximately 25 pupils). 
•Have experience of planning for all subjects within the two key stages.
•Have a passion for the environment.
•Be up-to-date with approaches to teaching and keen to take on new challenges in the profession.
•Have familiarity and ideally, experience of delivering synthetics phonics programmes (we use Little Wandle).
•Maintain our warm and welcoming environment to enable all children to reach their full potential.

Please indicate your strengths and interests as a candidate, especially on your letter of application.
