Burneston CE VA Primary School and its governing body are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and inspirational teacher to work full time, within an experienced Key Stage 1/EYFS team, commencing 1st September 2026\.

We are a strong team of committed and talented staff, led by strong governors, and with supportive, engaged families. Our school life revolves around our ‘Celebrate, Collaborate, Pollinate’ ethos.
Would you like to be part of a committed, dynamic team who are working hard to drive improvement and raise outcomes for the children in their community? Are you prepared to go the extra mile, to maintain the highest professional standards, and above all, to shape young lives?
If you believe that teaching is a privilege, that every interaction is an opportunity to improve young people’s life chances, then we are the school for you.
