• be a professional who inspires children, including them as active learners
• experience of developing children with SEND as well as stretching high achievers
• be determined to make a difference
• be calm, caring and supportive of the inclusive ethos of our Federation
• have high expectations of yourself, standards of achievement, progress and behaviour, together with a can do attitude
• be an effective team member, organised, hardworking and flexible
• have a passion for teaching, with the ability to inspire and motivate
• be an excellent role model who maintains the positive ethos and core values of the Federation, both inside and outside the classroom.

We can offer:

• happy, responsive and polite children
• an opportunity to make a difference and shape the future of our school
