St George’s CE Primary School are seeking to appoint an outstanding teacher to join our wonderfully committed and dedicated team from September 2026.

At St George’s, we are proud to combine the very best of traditional primary education with innovative, forward-thinking practice. Judged Outstanding by Ofsted in October 2023, and recognised nationally for our work in education, we remain relentlessly ambitious — not for accolades, but because our kids deserve the very best every single day.

This is a temporary teaching position, initially until 31st August 2027, although there is the possibility for the role to become permanent in the future.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has high expectations for all children
• Understands the importance of relationships, warmth, and consistency
• Wants to work as part of a genuinely supportive team
• Is committed to helping children “learn, care and share through work, play and prayer”
• Will embrace and support the Christian ethos of our school

It is not essential for candidates to be practising Christians; however, applicants must fully support the values and ethos of St George’s CE Primary School.

At St George’s, you will find:

• Wonderful children who are eager to learn
• A caring, committed, and highly skilled staff team
• Strong leadership and professional support
• A school community built upon kindness, aspiration, and belonging
• A culture where staff are valued, developed, and encouraged to flourish

As Ted Lasso once said, “Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse. If you're comfortable while you're doing it, you're probably doing it wrong.”
We are looking for someone ready to embrace that challenge with warmth, courage, and ambition.

Applicants should complete the Blackburn Diocese Board of Education Application Form and submit this alongside a supplementary letter outlining their suitability for the role. Applications should be emailed directly to the Headteacher at:
