● Plan and deliver lessons with regard for the school’s aims, policies and schemes of work.

●  Provide clear structures for lessons which maintain pace, motivation, challenge and are  differentiated to enable all children access to the curriculum.

● Make effective use of assessment information on pupil’s attainment and progress in planning  future lessons.

● Keep appropriate and efficient records, integrating formative and summative assessment into  weekly and termly planning.

● Ensure effective teaching of whole classes, groups and individuals, establishing high expectations of  behaviour and attainment so that teaching objectives and good progress are consistently  achieved.

● Create systems of organisation within the classroom to support teaching and learning and  personal development of children.

● Know when and how to differentiate appropriately, using approaches which enable pupils to be  taught effectively.

● Have a secure understanding of how a range of factors can inhibit pupils’ ability to learn, and  how best to overcome these.

● Demonstrate an awareness of the physical, social and intellectual development of children, and  know how to adapt teaching to support pupils’ education at different stages of development.

We can offer you:

● Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme.

● Access to workplace and wellbeing support services.

● A genuine sense of belonging in a family of schools rooted in strong values.
