A lovely junior primary school in Berkhamsted are hiring for a Year 5 Primary Teacher to join them in September 2026 on a full-time basis. This is an opportunity to work within a voluntary aided Church of England school, meaning it has a Christian ethos that places emphasis on values such as respect, kindness, and community.

The school serves around 300-350 pupils aged 7 to 11 and is part of a two-tier education system, where children typically attend the infant school before moving on to the junior school. It is also part of a Federation, which links it with a local infant school and helps provide continuity in education and shared leadership.

In terms of quality, the school was rated "Good" by Ofsted in its most recent inspection, reflecting solid teaching, positive pupil behaviour, and effective leadership. The school environment includes a range of facilities for a primary setting, such as spaces for art, music, and physical education, as well as outdoor areas for sports and play.

The Role:

• Full-time Year 5 primary teacher
• Planning, delivering, and assessing engaging lessons in line with the national curriculum
• Creating a positive and inclusive classroom environment
• Working collaboratively with colleagues, leadership, and parents
• Contributing to the wider life of the school community

The Ideal Candidate Will:

• Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)
• Have experience teaching in Key Stage 2 (Year 5 experience desirable but not essential)
• Demonstrate strong classroom management and organisational skills
• Share the school's values and be supportive of its Christian ethos
• Be committed to fostering a nurturing and inspiring learning environment

What the Berkhamsted School Offers:

• A supportive and collaborative staff team
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression
• Strong leadership and clear vision
• A positive and well-behaved pupil cohort
• A welcoming school community with strong values at its core
