What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for an inspiring and professionally thoughtful candidate who must be able to use a range of teaching styles and appropriate strategies to meet the needs of all children. To be the successful candidate you will need to have good experience of working in the Early Years, have an excellent knowledge of the EYFS curriculum and be both creative and passionate about learning. You must have high expectations for children’s outcomes in relation to the Early Learning Goals and be confident to lead a team of Early Years Practitioners to deliver those outcomes.

You will be part of a strong trust-wide EYFS team that work together to create a high-quality provision from 2–5 years of age. Our schools offer an exciting, extended and enriched curriculum and expect all practitioners to fully engage in the provision of this, through the use of the outdoors and in the extended day with the wide range of after-school activities that we offer. You will also be expected to use ICT in a fully integrated way as a tool to support your planning, teaching, tracking of the curriculum and in the delivery of the activities within the classroom to support the children’s development.

What the school offers its staff

Each of the schools are well resourced with a high investment in the learning environment, a dedicated library, a 1:1 digital device programme, a TV studio, an art room and a garden and forest school site. There is a dedicated Nursery with a strong Early Years Team creating strong foundations for each child’s education journey.

We hope that you will bring your skills, talent, and passion to further enhance the wide offer that supports every child, whatever their need. A Cornerstone school is a place where you can flourish as a teacher.

The post is available from September 2023 and is a permanent position. This is a full-time role as the Nursery provision is growing into an all year round offering. Therefore, this is an all-year-round position but with 7 weeks’ holiday including bank holidays. The salary for this position will depend on your status and experience and will be discussed at interview.

We have enhanced the teachers’ pay and conditions through the provision of a health scheme, a cycle to work scheme, an electric car scheme, performance related pay progression and subsidised meals in our staff café, with food cooked and served by our own chefs. Successful candidates will be provided with state-of-the-art IT equipment and will work in modern, digitally enabled classrooms where children have access to their own Microsoft Surface device. To enable teachers to become the best they can be, we support them with a weekly investment in their professional development through training. We provide an online personalised training portal to enable each teacher to develop at their own pace. For ECT’s we deliver a weekly programme with specialist support from our ECT programme leader, a mentor and inputs delivered by experienced teachers.
