Job description
We are seeking an exceptional class teacher with the energy, passion and creativity to teach in the primary phase of our thriving All-Through school. This is an opportunity for a full-time position, for a September 2024 start.
CFS is a vibrant, collaborative and forward thinking school for 4-16 year olds, where the personal development of our pupils is just as important as the academic curriculum. Our values of ‘nurture, challenge and inspire’ influence everything we do as a school, and genuinely permeate all areas of school life. If you are a strong practitioner who shares our values and ideals, we strongly encourage you to find out more about CFS via a visit to the school or through our school website www.chichesterfreeschool.org.uk.
Whilst this is a Key Stage two post, there is something extremely unique and special about working in an All-Through environment; the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work creatively with colleagues from both phases helping to develop a cohesive and truly progressive educational experience for all learners.
CFS follows national pay scales; this role would be equally suitable for an early career teacher or more experienced teacher.

The current focus for the Primary phase is expanding the opportunities in the wider curriculum, including the full development of our fantastic Forest School provision which was launched on site in 2019. The successful candidate will be joining a forward thinking, highly effective and happy Primary team.
As part of CFS, our staff are part of an all-though staff body as well as the cohesive Primary team. This provides opportunities for Primary staff to work with knowledgeable specialist teachers and use specialist rooms and resources to enrich learning in the primary classroom.
The Role
The person appointed to this post will be expected to work as a teacher in Key Stage Two. They will also be expected to take a proactive role in the extra-curricular life of the school, leading one after school club per week.
The successful candidate will:
- be a highly-skilled, competent and qualified teacher who is energetic and totally committed to the ethos of the School
- readily establish excellent relationships with both staff and students
- enjoy pioneering new developments in pedagogy
- embrace the use of new technologies in the classroom
- be skilled in behaviour for learning
- value creating an inspiring learning environment
- possess drive, expertise and enthusiasm
- be well-organised and disciplined when it comes to administrative duties
- possess an optimistic and resilient style when faced with pressure
- be able to communicate well with children and young people, having an understanding of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people
All teachers at CFS commit themselves to contribute fully to the ethos and life of the School in and outside the classroom.
