Teacher of Primary - KS1

Join a primary team recognised for its community spirit and commitment to every child’s success. We are looking for a KS1 specialist to teach Year 1/Year 2.

Bournville School’s Primary phase is thriving. The Early Years and Primary provision (EYFS) is rated Good, with Ofsted praising our “aspirational curriculum” for being “meticulously planned and sequenced”. We are ambitious for every child – and we’re looking for an experienced teacher who shares our values and is eager to help shape the next phase of our journey.

Deeply rooted in its community and recently nominated for Community School of the Year, Bournville has an on-site Community Hub and a culture built on care, collaboration and individualised support. We are a close-knit school, able to draw on the wider expertise and resources of our Secondary team and an established multi-academy trust.

In this role, you will plan, deliver and assess high-quality, engaging lessons and play an active role in the wider life of our school. We are seeking someone with experience, high expectations and the ambition to grow into a leadership role. As Mr McDermott, our Head of Primary, explains:

“We’re looking for a hardworking, passionate and highly motivated individual who wants the autonomy to drive decisions and improvements from day one. Because we are smaller, teachers get to know every child and can take on whole-school responsibilities earlier – with clear pathways into leadership. I’m looking for an experienced teacher ready for new challenges within an established multi-academy trust.”

We welcome informal visits. Contact Liz Jones on 0121 475 3881 or email [email protected] for an informal chat about the role.

Closing date: 24 June 2026.
