Fixed-term Year 2 Class Teacher - maternity cover job summary
We have had some exciting news in the midst of the coronavirus situation… one of our teachers is having a baby! We are so pleased that with all that is going on, there is some really positive and lovely news within our school family!
As a result, we are looking for a kind and skilled teacher to join our school family in Year 2 as a maternity cover for the academic year. This would be a perfect opportunity for someone who has had a change of situation, is looking to get back into teaching or has just been waiting to find the right school for them.
Ideally, the candidate would be able to start after October half term in order to Team Teach with the existing teacher but we could also accommodate a January start for the right candidate. The ideal candidate would be confident within the KS1 curriculum or keen to learn and although you’d only be with us on a temporary basis, we’d love someone who embraces all of the wonders of working in an infant school!
We know that things are a bit up in there in the world at the moment but at our school, no two days are ever the same and our children and staff are experts at making difficult times much less difficult.

Horley Infant School has a rich history dating back to 1864. Since then it has been adapted to provide ten modern, well equipped classrooms, each possessing an extensive range of resources to facilitate and extend the children’s learning. These include interactive whiteboards, visualisers, laptops and tablets with software designed for each year group to access. Each classroom also has a book corner and an art area.
The school also has a separate room for small group work and a large entrance hall containing a well stocked central library. The school also benefits from a recently extended hall equipped with climbing apparatus. The school is situated on a spacious site with a large playground to the rear. Also to the rear of school is a playing field, an all weather field and a very popular Adventure Trail.
For those preferring some quiet spaces there is a pond, a gazebo and other shaded areas for children to enjoy. Recently constructed vegetable plots enable children to enjoy and learn from growing their own produce. Adjacent to this area is our newly constructed Forest Schools area which enables children in Year One to develop a variety of skills whilst learning with our Forest Schools teacher
