• work well as part of a team and contribute positively to the wider life of the school

We would particularly welcome applications from teachers who:

• have strong knowledge of early reading and phonics, or are keen to develop this
• can contribute to the wider life of the school, for example through music, performance or enrichment opportunities

What we offer:

• a supportive and ambitious staff team
• a strong commitment to professional development, including a well-structured ECT programme
• opportunities to work within an English Hub and engage with best practice beyond the school
• a positive learning environment where pupils are ready to learn
