An ELAN teacher is passionate and committed to meeting and exceeding all teaching standards and is actively seeking to improve their craft in line with our pedagogical principles.

You will:

- be forward thinking and keen to progress

- have strong team-working skills

There is a possibility to take on extra responsibility and previous leadership experience is advantageous. We can offer excellent progression potential within this role. As part of ELAN (Extend Learning Academies Network), you will benefit from a wider network of colleagues across other schools and within central HR, finance and communications to ensure you are well supported and your knowledge is kept up-to-date. Investment in staff wellbeing and training is a priority in our organisation to ensure we offer an excellent service. As a teacher, you will have the opportunity to learn and develop through our professional development and network opportunities.

Windwhistle Primary School in Weston-super-Mare supports children’s achievement by building their self-confidence. We offer a happy, safe environment that nurtures children from 3 – 11 years old and supports all in our school community. We have extensive grounds that the children can access for learning and play. We are very well-resourced with excellent professional development opportunities and our teachers benefit from support and development through the wider network of schools in ELAN. A Windwhistle teacher believes that every moment of every day is for learning and that learning and teaching are most effective when based on first-hand experiences.

Windwhistle Primary School is part of Extend Learning Academies Network (ELAN) and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure and satisfactory references. We will be undertaking an appropriate online search for shortlisted candidates.
