Dear prospective teachers,


Thank you for your interest in joining Denby Dale First and Nursery School.


We are incredibly proud of our school - it's a brilliant place to work and learn, filled with amazing children and a dedicated, supportive staff team. There's a genuine sense of warmth and community here, and our strong relationships underpin everything we do.


At Denby Dale, we're passionate about developing the whole child. Guided by our school motto Encourage, Enjoy, Achieve, we aim to help every child reach their full academic and personal potential. We want our children to feel confident, curious and proud of who they are - to build the skills and resilience they need for life, and to be celebrated for their individual talents and interests.


We're also a school with ambition. We're on a journey to become truly outstanding, and we're excited about the future. This is a fantastic time to join us - to be part of a forward-thinking team, contribute your ideas and energy, and make a real impact.


If you're someone who shares our values and wants to be part of a warm and ambitious school, we'd love to hear from you.


The job role is to cover maternity leave initially in Year 5 for 3 days a week. However, there will be a crossover of a few weeks of our Year 5 teacher leaving on maternity leave and another teacher returning. As such we would ideally like the successful candidate to work 5 days during this transition. The position is from January 2026 to October half term 2026 but with the potential to extend this to January 2027.


We would welcome visits and I am free to show you around on Tuesday 18th November 9:00am or Wednesday 26th November at 4pm. Please email office@denbydale.education to confirm your attendance.





This job is subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level, please refer to the /Profile. A conviction may not exclude candidates from appointment but will be considered as part of the recruitment process.
