About the job

Didcot Primary Academy is looking to recruit an enthusiastic and highly skilled teacher to join our team. DPA is a popular, ambitious and successful multi-cultural primary school. Our most recent Ofsted inspection, held in December 2024, found that the school had continued to build on the previous judgement of outstanding in all areas..

This vacancy represents an exciting opportunity to join a highly motivated and talented team, many of whom have been at the school for a long period of time. Work life balance is seriously considered in this school. The successful candidate will work across all classes from Reception to Year 6 leading high quality learning. Due to the nature of the role, this post is not suitable for ECT's.

This is an opportunity to have a really varied timetable but get fully involved in school life, you will work alongside another experienced teacher who is also covering PPA teaching lessons in a range of subjects, often the same lesson to both classes in each year group- in order to use time as effectively as possible. You will, of course, be allocated your own PPA time.

We are looking for a teacher who:

  • Is passionate about making learning effective and enjoyable
  • Can fill our children's lives with creativity, challenge, wonder and fun
  • Can create a haven in which our children feel especially safe, valued and happy
  • Has high expectations of themselves
  • Will ensure that behaviour and attainment is high for every child relative to their starting points

In return we can offer:

  • A committed and friendly team aiming for excellence in all they do
  • Children who are well behaved, happy and eager to learn
  • A commitment to high quality professional development
  • A supportive and encouraging Senior Leadership Team and Trus
