Stone Cross School

Stone Cross School is a popular, oversubscribed, two-form entry school located on the outskirts of Eastbourne. As we continue to provide an exceptional educational experience to our pupils, we are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher to join our happy and successful school community. We are looking for a new member of staff to commence in September 2025. Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are warmly welcomed to apply.

• A teacher who sets high expectations for both themselves and their pupils, ensuring that each learner can achieve their potential.
• An effective team player who thrives in a collaborative environment, contributing positively to the ethos of the school.
• An individual with a good sense of humour, capable of creating an enjoyable learning atmosphere.
• For candidates not entering as ECTs, experience in leading a subject area is desirable.
• Proficiency in teaching phonics, particularly Read Write Inc. (RWI), is preferred.

In return, we can offer you a supportive and engaging work environment, including:

• A team of dedicated, friendly, and hardworking colleagues who strive for excellence.
• Strong support for your professional development, ensuring that you continue to grow and flourish within your career.
• Friendly, motivated children who are eager to learn and make progress.
