Responsibilities: Classroom Teacher with English and Key Stage One Lead

The Headteacher, Governors and Board of Trustees wish to appoint an ambitious, skilled and dedicated Class Teacher to also lead Key Stage One and English. This is an exciting opportunity for somebody to play a central role in driving continued improvement both in our Key Stage One team and across the school as English Lead.

The Key Stage One and English Lead is an excellent classroom practitioner who leads Key Stage One, supporting colleagues and pupils through a strong model of high-quality teaching, particularly in English. They play a central role in driving improvements in early reading, writing and language development, ensuring continuity from Early Years into Key Stage One.

The post-holder will lead the development of English across the school, shaping curriculum, pedagogy and assessment to secure strong outcomes for all pupils. They will build on the school’s established Early Years foundations - underpinned by early intervention and targeted support - and ensure these approaches are embedded and extended effectively into KS1 and beyond.

We can offer you:

• welcoming and enthusiastic children and staff

• excellent CPD opportunities through our Trust and collaboration with other schools
