St. Stephen's C.E. Primary School welcomes applications from a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher for the role of full time class teacher. This is a maternity leave position and the employee is anticipated to return to work for September 2022 but this is dependent on the employee's circumstances.
We are a happy and caring school where team work is a real strength this was noted by Ofsted in October 2018 and confirmed in the SIAMS inspection of 2020. We enjoy teaching a dynamic and vibrant curriculum and the school is very well resourced, particularly with our outdoor facilities. We are close to the city centre as well as Avenham and Miller Parks in Preston.

We are committed to accessing high quality continuous professional development, have a caring and supportive governing body and leadership team and enthusiastic, well behaved pupils. Our school is diverse in language, faith and culture and we are a happy school community.
Candidates are asked to state their subject strengths within their application as we hope to utilise the strengths of the appointed teacher to maximise learning for our pupils. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will teach in a lower junior class.


We offer:

a wonderful environment that enriches the curriculum

supportive governors, leadership team, parents and staff

a distinctive Christian ethos
