The role — what the Reception Teacher will do
As Reception Teacher you will design high-quality continuous provision that balances child-led exploration with focused adult-led sessions. The Reception Teacher will deliver daily phonics, language-rich activities and early maths experiences. The Reception Teacher will assess progress against the Early Learning Goals, work closely with families and prepare children for transition into Year 1.

The timetable for the Part-Time Reception Teacher is designed to provide protected planning time and meaningful impact in the classroom.
Person specification — Reception Teacher
We seek a Reception Teacher with QTS or EYTS, early years experience and a commitment to play-based, evidence-informed practice. The ideal Reception Teacher is nurturing, organised and skilled at adult–child interactions. The Reception Teacher will be ready to engage with pre-term planning before the January 2026 start, to join induction sessions in the January 2026 start window, and to teach as a Part-Time Reception Teacher from the January 2026 start.
