Class Teacher - EYFS/KS1 Teacher job summary

We are looking to appoint an inspirational, ambitious and talented Class Teacher to join our dedicated and enthusiastic team. The role of the Class Teacher is central to the success of Concordia Academy and is a position which has a direct impact on the outstanding learning opportunities provided to the pupils.

Class Teachers are responsible for the day-to-day teaching and learning provision for all children in their class, including those with Special Educational Needs, English as an Additional Language, those more-able learners and those eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant. You will receive coaching and mentoring from experienced leaders in the academy to ensure that you are supported in all aspects of what you do.

Therefore, we welcome applications from experienced teachers as well as those Early Careers Teachers (ECTs).

We rightly pride ourselves on the high expectations we place on the academic achievements and behaviour of all children, whatever their need, as well as a broad, diverse and engaging creative curriculum which underpins all that we do. Concordia Academy is an inclusive setting, valuing all children’s achievements, ensuring that each child is given every opportunity to meet their full potential.  There is no doubt that Concordia Academy is an exciting place to be – for children, staff, parents and the local community!

As a Class Teacher, you will be passionate about ensuring the best outcomes for children and giving them every opportunity to succeed, whatever their barriers may be.  where every child is respected and treated as an individual, with no limits placed on their learning – just opportunities to continually improve with a Growth Mindset approach.  We do not ‘label’ children or group them by perceived ‘ability’; we will instead give all children equal opportunities to challenge themselves through the range of tasks and activities presented to them – empowering children to take ownership and responsibility for their own learning.

Whatever your teaching background, we would love to hear from you!

What we’re looking for:

• A motivated individual who wants to achieve the very best for the children in our care and be relentless in the pursuit of excellence

• Excellent inter-personal skills

• Experience as an effective good and outstanding classroom teacher

• Excellent communication skills and a good sense of humour

• Good organisational skills

• Creativity which drives all aspects of teaching and learning

▶️Collaboration across other REAch2 schools, both locally and nationally.
 
▶️ Specialist curriculum support and training from our Trust experts - providing a flightpath for professional development
 
▶️ A support package for staff wellbeing

You’ll be working for a Trust with big ambitions for all our schools to be 'great'. We want to be national leaders in sustainability; to transform our teaching and learning through digital transformation and to ensure social justice is at the heart of what we do.
