Your Role

Governors are seeking to appoint an outstanding, committed and professional Transition Teacher. They need to draw on their experience in the Primary classroom and the post holder will bring a wealth of experience of Key Stage 2 to support pupils in Year 7 who are struggling to make expected progress and who need additional support in their transition to secondary school. At the heart of our Catholic school community, the role of the Transition Teacher is to nurture each student’s academic, personal, and spiritual development, ensuring they are fully prepared to participate confidently and meaningfully in the life of the wider school community, including mainstream classroom.

The successful candidate must hold Qualified Teacher Status and a degree, with recent experience teaching Key Stage 2 or transition classes. They should build strong relationships with pupils, parents and colleagues, and confidently use data to assess and improve learning. Key skills include effective planning, adaptability, communication, organisation, and the ability to teach across subjects. The role requires commitment to inclusion, safeguarding, professional development and the Catholic school ethos. Knowledge of SEND, trauma informed practice, and effective interventions is essential. Desirable qualities include proven pupil progress, motivational ability, self review experience and, ideally, being a practising Catholic.
