Tollgate Primary school is looking for a dedicated Class Teacher to join our strong staff team.
We are a two-form entry school; therefore, you will be working as part of a year group team. You will be able to plan sequences of lessons that develop the children’s foundations in learning through the CUSP curriculum.
You will have high expectations of all children and adopt our culture of belonging and relational practice. Tollgate is committed to working with our families and the local community to develop the children’s academic and social skills. We offer a warm and welcoming environment with a dedicated staff team who are supportive of one another.
There is a clear vision for school development to improve outcomes for all pupils. Tollgate was graded ‘good’ by Ofsted in October 2023 with inspectors noting that the children are happy, safe and well cared for. They also commented on our high expectations of children as we deliver the ambitious CUSP curriculum.
