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 timetable for the Part-Time Reception Teacher is designed to provide protected planning time and meaningful impact in the classroom.
Person specification — Reception Teacher
