Class Teacher

Thank you for your interest in the position of Class Teacher at Viridis Schools. If you would like to learn more about our school's partnership, we would be delighted to answer any questions you may have. We can offer tours of all three school sites so you can meet our children and staff and see first-hand what we do. Our school websites also offer much more information about our staff, curriculum and the way that we work. Orchard, Southwold and Hoxton Garden Primary Schools are in the vibrant and diverse community of Hackney, East London, with easy transport links into and out of Central London. With a joint pupil roll of over 1300 pupils, we are a very successful organisation with a passion for making a difference. We provide a very rich and exciting curriculum and a no excuses culture for low standards. Because of this, our pupils achieve well above national averages regardless of their starting points and Ofsted have been full of praise about our provision. Orchard & Southwold have been in partnership since January 2012, with Hoxton Garden joining us in April 2014. We have a joint Governing Body and strong links to our Local Authority. Each school has its own leadership team who work together with the common aim of giving children the very best. We have set an ambitious vision for the future and have very high standards for what can be achieved with the benefits of shared expertise. We have a skilled team of highly committed and professional teachers and leaders. Staff from all three schools meet weekly to share ideas, with common systems and a shared curriculum. We take our role in raising the aspirations of our children and meeting the ambitions of our staff very seriously. As our school roll grows and staff move to promoted positions, we are looking to recruit class teachers in KS1, KS2 & Early Years who are looking to further develop their skills and talents. First and foremost, we are looking for practitioners who are confident, self-reflective and who have the energy and skill to make the difference that our children deserve. We have a commitment to developing expertise and a number of professional development programmes to suit teachers at different stages in their careers. We can offer the possibility of leadership roles for applicants with the right talents and experience. If you are hardworking, reflective, resilient and looking for a new challenge or somewhere to start your teaching career then we would love to hear from you. What we offer:

• We are a professional, friendly and happy team of teachers and support staff.
• We offer a dynamic and exciting environment with the chance to make a real difference.
• We are an organisation that is keen to nurture and develop the expertise of its staff.
• We have children who are shown how to learn from the very start.
