  • support children to achieve their best potential
  • believe that children's learning has no limits
  • be highly motivated and enthusiastic
  • be a reflective learner who is always open to new initiatives
  • be able to take a ‘holistic’ approach in supporting children
  • be open, approachable and a team player
  • have strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • have an NVQ Level 2/3 in Early Years
  • have key skills in English and Mathematics

We can offer:

  • enthusiastic children who are motivated to learn
  • a friendly environment, with very supportive colleagues, parents and governors
  • excellent continued professional development both within and beyond the school
  • an ethos of support where new ideas are welcomed
  • a well-resourced environment and extensive grounds
