Class Teacher

This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher to join our school family.  English Martyrs’ RCP is a small and friendly school that has been graded as a ’Good’ school both by Ofsted and by its denominational inspection. Pupils describe their school as “a place of peace and a source of inspiration”. They know that everyone is “valued and included”. Parents frequently describe the school as “caring and friendly”. (Ofsted, July 2023)

English Martyrs’ RCP is a one-form entry primary school built on strong Catholic ethos and values. It is situated in Frindsbury, Strood which has fantastic links to London and the rest of Kent via High Speed Rail and the A2/M2 motorway.  It is an inclusive and energetic school at the heart of the community.

We are looking for a teacher who has a proven track record of consistently delivering excellent lessons and who is a team player. The suitable candidate will ideally be able to teach across the age range.  Practicing Catholic candidates are preferred, but we welcome applications from anyone who would support the Catholic ethos of the school.

We can offer support and CPD, a welcoming and friendly school, supportive parents and governors. As a member of Kent Catholic Schools’ Partnership (KCSP) the successful candidate will have the added support and guidance afforded by a well-established multi-academy trust.

English Martyrs’ School prides itself on its commitment to inclusive education, extra-curricular activities and development of the ‘whole-child’.

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Offer of appointment is subject to pre-employment checks including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. In addition, in line with KCSIE 2024 guidance, as part of the shortlisting process, online searches on shortlisted candidates will be carried out.

Visits to the school are encouraged. For further information, or to make an appointment to speak to the Headteacher, please contact Miss Laura Chandler on 01634 718964 or by e-mail (office@englishmartyrs.medway.sch.uk).
