Overview

Portesbery School is a very special school for pupils between the ages of 3-19. We have vacancy for a Class Teacher to join our team at our impressive, purpose-built school in Deepcut.

Personal attributes

We are looking for an enthusiastic, imaginative and energetic Class Teacher to join our school’s vision of ensuring that our students achieve high quality communication, independence and life skills.  You need to be committed to improving life outcomes for young people, open to learning new skills, and a team player.  The role can include working with young people with challenging behaviour, so you should be physically and emotionally resilient as well.

We are a supportive, happy, caring and hardworking school who put children at the heart of all we do. 

Experience of working with SEND children or adults is desirable, but you would be joining an experienced, dedicated and well-trained team and would receive a full induction and support programme, as well as benefiting from a wide range of CPD and career progression opportunities.

Our May 2023 Ofsted inspection noted that “During the inspection, one member of staff captured the views of many. They described the school as a ‘magical place’. Staff feel well supported by the headteacher and other leaders. Their workload and well-being are prioritised.” 

We are very proud of our school community; please browse our website for lots more information. 

Please note that advance visits to the school are essential - if you would like to make an appointment please contact the school office, or email: contact@portesbery.surrey.sch.uk
