  • Use assessment effectively to track progress and inform future planning

  • Differentiate teaching to support pupils of all abilities, including SEND and EAL learners

  • Create a positive, safe, and inclusive classroom environment

  • Promote positive behaviour, independence, and resilience

  • Work collaboratively with teaching assistants and colleagues across Key Stage 1

  • Communicate effectively with parents and carers regarding pupil progress

  • Participate in staff meetings, training, and whole-school initiatives

  • Support pupils’ smooth transition from EYFS into Year 1

The successful applicant will:

  • Hold Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

  • Have experience teaching in Key Stage 1, ideally Year 1

  • Demonstrate strong knowledge of the KS1 curriculum

  • Be confident in managing behaviour and differentiating learning

  • Be reflective, organised, and committed to continuous professional development

  • Have a nurturing approach alongside high expectations for all pupils

  • Be committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children

Early Career Teachers are welcome to apply and will receive appropriate mentoring and support.

Why Join This School?

  • Supportive and approachable leadership team

  • Collaborative and experienced Key Stage 1 staff

  • Well-resourced classrooms and structured planning support

  • Opportunities for professional development and career progression

  • A diverse and vibrant school community

  • A strong focus on staff wellbeing and work-life balance
