Are you a teacher who believes that inclusion isn't a 'bolt-on', but the foundation of a great classroom?
"What I love about teaching here is that we don't just talk about kindness; we bank it. Whether it's a Year 6 student leading a project or a quiet moment of success in Year 1, we celebrate the small wins that lead to big breakthroughs."

At Edith Moorhouse, we are a school on the move, driven by a vibrant community spirit. You won't just be delivering a curriculum; you will be the person who ensures that whether a child is building a "Chocolate City" or mastering the basics, they feel seen, supported, and capable. You'll be joining a team that recently cheered on our Year 5s through Bikeability and hosted SEND socials for our parents-we are a school that truly looks after the "whole person."

A 'Heart-First' Approach: You understand that pupils learn best when they feel safe and valued.
Inclusive Practice: You have a natural gift for adapting learning so every child, regardless of their starting point, can access the magic of the lesson.
Infectious Passion: You bring a drive for excellence that inspires children to want to do their best.
Team Spirit: You're ready to dive into school life, from supporting PTA discos to collaborating on innovative workshops.
