KEY STAGE 2 TEACHER (Fixed Term Maternity Cover)
Required from Autumn 2023 until August 2024 (with possible extension)
For maternity cover, we seek to appoint, from Christmas 2023, an inspiring and committed teacher to our busy and exciting Junior School.
Whilst the role is likely to begin after Christmas, we are highly likely to have additional work available throughout the Autumn term (possibly from September) so we are very keen to hear from candidates who have wider availability. We anticipate that the post will be needed until August 2024 with the possibility to extend into the 2024/25 academic year on mutual agreement.
The school is academically selective, and boys and girls are highly articulate, high-achieving and amazingly well motivated, busily involved outside the classroom as well as in it. The role will involve taking over teaching responsibility for, in the main, Year 5 and 6 maths and English in classes of 24 children, but could involve working across a range of subjects in lower Key Stage 2.
The RGS has its own salary scale (which is above national pay scales for teachers).
RGS is proud to be an equal opportunities employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships. Whilst all applications are considered on merit, we would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates who are currently under-represented in our staff community.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment. All posts are subject to pre-employment checks, pre-interview references and an enhanced DBS check.
CLOSING DATE: 9.00am Monday 19th June 2023

Royal Grammar School
Thomas Horsley, the original settlor of the Royal Grammar School Newcastle (RGS) pledged his legacy to the School in 1525. Almost 500 years later, RGS continues to flourish as the premier independent school in the North East of England and as one of the country’s leading schools, and the Sunday Times’ North East Independent School of the Decade 2020. We regularly lead all northern schools in national league tables and pride ourselves on academic excellence, a high level of pastoral support, involvement in a wide range of sports and other extra-curricular activities, and our commitment to bursaries and partnerships.
RGS has grown substantially in recent years. There are now some 1,330 students, over 260 of whom are in the Junior School. The Sixth Form of 350 students is one of the largest in the independent sector. We became coeducational 20 years ago and girls now comprise 43% of the school.
The school is based in the heart of the City, immediately opposite Jesmond Metro station. The school occupies over 30 acres of land and has state-of-the-art facilities, including five brand new art studios, a new library, a new Sixth Form Centre, a 25m swimming pool, two Sports Halls, a Performing Arts Centre, outdoor football/rugby pitches at Mooracres, an artificial turf pitch for hockey and the former County Cricket Ground.
