CFS is looking to employ a Year 6 class teacher to teach our Upper Key Stage 2 pupils. 

Hours

The core teaching commitment equates to 4 days per week in Year 6.  We would ideally like to appoint a full-time, 5 days per week, teacher who is also able to teach a selection of mainly practical subjects in Year 5.

About our school

Independent Sector, 170 to 200 pupils from 4 to 16.

CFS is a faith venture within a parent collaborative setting, where young people learn to consider the world and themselves in a Christ-centred way, and the next generation are actively discipled to equip them to serve society creatively and courageously. School families come from diverse ethnic and church backgrounds across the wider Merseyside region.

We see working at CFS as part of our Christian calling to serve the church through education. The salary structure is consequently reflected in this vision.

More about the role

The successful candidate will take responsibility for teaching our Year 6 class (expected to be about 15 pupils in September 2026) across the full range of core and foundation subjects, following the school’s established curriculum and contributing to its ongoing development.

They will ensure that pupils are well grounded in knowledge, understanding and habits of learning that enable them to thrive within our Middle School phase (Years 5 to 8).

• Have relevant teaching experience or be an Early Career Teacher (ECT) with strong potential
• Be confident teaching across a broad primary curriculum
• Demonstrate strong subject knowledge and high expectations for pupils
