Why This Role Matters

• A Heart-First Approach: You build relational trust so pupils feel secure, seen, and valued

• Adaptive LKS2 Practice: You modify learning effortlessly so every pupil can access key concepts across the curriculum.

• High Expectations: You model purpose and enthusiasm that encourages children to take pride in their work.

• Collaborative Mindset: You enjoy working alongside colleagues, sharing ideas, and contributing to wider school life

The Edith Moorhouse Difference

• Professional Agency: We trust our teachers as experts. You have the autonomy to bring LKS2 subjects to life in ways that spark curiosity.

• Shared Growth: Supported by the River Learning Trust, you gain access to research-informed CPLD and peer networks across Oxfordshire.

• Grounded Community: Situated in Carterton, we maintain strong links with local families and foster a team where staff look out for one another.

The RLT Connection

Education has the power to change lives, communities, and society for the better. At RLT, we believe we achieve more for our pupils and staff by working together.

• Professional Security: Continuous public sector service recognition and access to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS).

• Shared Growth: Access to Trust-wide CPLD networks and career pathways.

• The Whole Person: 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme and a genuine commitment to workload-sensitive practice.
