You should have a level 3 Early Years qualification and a high standard of general education with good numeracy and literacy skills. You will be able to communicate effectively with children and adults, have a flexible attitude, good sense of humour and be friendly and approachable. Experience of working with children, good time management and the ability to work flexibly using your initiative are essential.

School Priorities:
Quality of Education
Children are provided with broad and rich experiences through a contextually relevant, holistic and decolonised curriculum which celebrates uniqueness and has a rigorous focus on diversity, equality and inclusion.
Children acquire a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of maths through embedded and sustained teaching and learning of Maths Mastery, resulting in attainment exceeding that of pupils nationally.
Children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are provided with an individually adapted and ambitious curriculum that meets their needs, develops their knowledge, skills and abilities and enables them to demonstrate competence with increasing fluency and independence.
Behaviour and Attitudes
Children continue to be supported by an intelligent, fair and effective approach to behaviour. Staff have a deep understanding of how to employ emotion coaching to support children with additional needs.
Personal Development
Children are given access to a wide, rich set of experiences in a coherently planned way. The opportunities for children to develop their talents and interests are of exceptional quality, and there is strong take-up by children. In particular disadvantaged pupils benefit from this support and provision
Leadership and Management
Staff explore the curriculum and their own CPD with increased passion, engagement and a visible impact on the quality of education. The adults in our school embody, embrace and demonstrate the same passion to learn and improve that we champion in our students.
EYFS
Children are highly motivated and deeply engaged by high quality provision. They sustain high levels of concentration and are eager to join in. Children share and cooperate well, demonstrating self-control and respect for others. Staff demonstrate the ability to move the children forward in their learning.
Equal Opportunities
Waltham Forest is a diverse borough where diversity is valued and is integral to both, service delivery and employment of its staff. The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and as the largest employer in the area; it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population. We use our statutory duties on race, gender and disability equality and best practice in respect of age, faith and sexual orientation to ensure equality of opportunity in the workplace. Respecting Diversity is a core Council value.
The Council is committed to meeting its four strategic outcomes contained within the Waltham Forest Council Equality Plan:
• Promoting equality of opportunity
• Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance and disadvantage
• Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels
• Providing fair, appropriate, accessible and excellent services to all.
Handsworth Primary is committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. The 2021-22 objectives are to:
• To have an ongoing commitment to a whole school EDI journey
• To teach an increasingly decolonised curriculum which celebrates the uniqueness of all children.
• Children continue to be supported by an intelligent, fair and effective approach to behaviour. Staff have a deep understanding of how to employ emotion coaching to support all children.
• To continue to refine our recruitment procedures at all levels to ensure a fair and unbiased process.
Commitment to safeguarding
Our organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff, volunteers and trustees to share this commitment.
