What the school offers its staff

Class Teacher post

M1-M6 full time

To start January 2024

Teaching vacancies at Burwell Village College are a rare opportunity. Since 2021 staffing has been very stable because staff development and well-being is a high priority. We give teachers additional time for professional development to ensure that we can be the best teaching team, learning from each other and developing deep professional knowledge. Our most recent OfSTED inspection in 2024 recognised the impact of this CPD programme on staff confidence and subject knowledge and on pupil outcomes. We have a strong support package for teachers, including joint PPA time giving opportunities to share ideas; strong, knowledgeable senior leaders who have time out of the classroom to focus on developing teaching and learning, and opportunities to create and refine our own curriculum.

We are looking for teachers who are outstanding practitioners or have the potential to be. We need staff who are inspiring and motivating for pupils, able to think about learning and deliver it in an interesting and engaging way.

The children here are well-behaved, hard-working and eager to learn. The facilities are fantastic with space and equipment readily available. Parents are keen to support the school.

This is a brilliant opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of four hundred children. If you really want to have a measurable impact on children’s life chances, Burwell could be the school for you.

If you would like to know more about the school, please contact the school office and ask to speak to the Headteacher. We can arrange Zoom, Teams, Google meet or FaceTime conversations, as well as traditional phone calls. Visits to the school are highly recommended. There is also a wealth of information available on the school website.
