We currently have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher, to enhance our outstanding Early Years provision as a full-time, permanent, Kindergarten teacher. We are seeking a passionate and creative individual to join our school, rated ‘Excellent in all areas’ in our most recent inspection.

For the successful applicant, we offer a friendly and highly supportive working environment, and the opportunity to work as part of a dedicated and cohesive team of staff. We have excellent resources, including specialist teaching across a range of subjects, as well as small class sizes which enable teachers to really get to know the children and fully focus on their individual needs.

• Have a secure understanding of child development and have relevant subject knowledge that enables the planning and implementation of stimulating and age-appropriate developmental programmes using the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, ensuring full use of both the indoor and outdoor environments.
• Stay abreast of current Early Years initiatives and legislations and ensure that this informs their practice.
• Be confident in gathering relevant assessment information to plan appropriate teaching and learning strategies that support all individuals within the class, thus enabling all children to make good progress. This includes children who are more able and those that may require additional support.
• Form strong working relationships with parents, by providing them with information that helps them to understand how their child can progress.
