Hopton C of E Primary Academy are seeking a Class Teacher to teach in a small village primary school within a very supportive community. This small-scale approach gives our children a real opportunity to thrive.

Experience of teaching a mixed KS2 class is desirable, as is a good knowledge of the curriculum. SEND and DSL experience is also desirable.

All staff at the school benefit from an employee assistance programme, as well as open opportunities to contribute to the school development, high-quality CPD and opportunities for career progression.
