Are you an enthusiastic and committed primary teacher looking for a new opportunity in a lovely school and a beautiful part of West Sussex?

Masterclass Education is delighted to be working with a welcoming and well-established primary school in Chichester, who are looking for a passionate KS1 Teacher to join their team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher who wants to become part of a school where children are at the heart of everything they do. The school has a warm and friendly feel, with a supportive team of teachers and leaders who work closely together and genuinely care about providing the best possible education and experience for their pupils.

The school prides itself on creating a positive environment where children feel happy, safe and confident to learn. Staff are encouraged to share ideas, support one another and continue developing their own practice, making this a great setting for both experienced teachers and ECTs looking to build their confidence and career.

About the School & Location

The school is based in Chichester, one of West Sussex’s most beautiful and historic towns. With its charming city centre, independent shops, cafés and historic surroundings, Chichester has a lovely community feel while still being close to the stunning South Coast.
