Are you an ambitious educator who believes the early years of junior school should be filled with wonder, exploration, and big ideas? Academics is currently partnering with a vibrant, forward-thinking primary school in the region to find an outstanding practitioner for a Key Stage 1 Teacher in Ellesmere Port position this September.

This particular school is renowned locally for its incredible outdoor learning spaces, modern resources, and a leadership team that actively protects teacher work-life balance. It is the perfect environment for a qualified teacher (QTS) who wants to move toward active, joyful learning.

The Ideal Profile:

• Collaborating with a passionate Key Stage 1 team to share best practices and resources.
• Upholding the high behavioral and pastoral standards that make this specific KS1 Teacher in Ellesmere Port role so rewarding.

What We Offer In Return:

• MPS Pay: Daily supply rates if you need work before autumn term (or are unsuccessful for this role).
