A unique opportunity to take on a leadership role in our brand-new Nursery setting whilst being part of an outstanding all-through academy.
We seek an experienced EYFS teacher and leader in the Nursery setting, bringing expertise and experience working with young children to provide excellent support and teaching to our pupils. We want to invest in a member of staff for the long term, and support in their development and impact as they lead our nursery provision, working closely with our experienced Assistant Principal / Head of EYFS.
KSA is rare in that it is a genuine all-through school – our pupils can go from 2 years to university in our school. We have a brand new nursery building for over 100 pupils for 2-4 year olds on track to open in April 2021, to expand our existing nursery provision from 65 to 90 pupils.

Day to day you will:
• Set the standard for teaching in nursery – modelling rigorous and transformational learning
• Deliver training, guidance and support to the team of practitioners
• Develop and plan the curriculum, providing rich and stimulating experiences for our pupils
Our ideal candidate will have:
• Experience of working and leading in a high-quality EYFS setting
• A genuine passion for education and making a difference to the lives of children
• Drive and motivation with a ‘make it happen’ attitude
