Teacher job summary

At Woodford Halse CE Primary Academy, we are looking for a passionate and committed Upper Key Stage 2 teacher to join our team and become part of something special.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to be part of a school that is proud of its community, ambitious for its children and continually striving to be even better.

A little about us...

Woodford Halse is a caring, nurturing and ambitious school at the heart of its community. We are incredibly proud of our children, our staff and the relationships we build with our families.

Our October 2024 Ofsted inspection recognised that we are "A caring and nurturing school. The school has a strong community feel, and parents spoke of it feeling like a family."

We are proud of this journey, but we are not a school that stands still. We have high expectations of ourselves and our children, and we are excited about what comes next.

What makes Woodford special?

There is so much that makes Woodford Halse a wonderful place to work:

• The Woodford Way: Our shared values of Ready, Resilient, Respectful and Reflective underpin everything we do. We believe in consistency, high expectations and doing the right thing for our children.

• An ambitious curriculum: Through Learning Means the World, we deliver a creative, knowledge-rich curriculum which develops children's understanding of the world around them.

• Learning beyond the classroom: Our woodland, Forest School and OPAL play offer provide opportunities for children to explore, take risks, develop independence and discover their interests.

• A commitment to inclusion: We want every child to feel that they belong. We value adaptive teaching, early identification and getting to know the individual behind the learner.

• A culture of development: We invest in our staff through quality professional development, coaching, collaboration and opportunities to develop their own practice and leadership.

• A team that cares: We are a close-knit team who work hard, support one another and share a genuine commitment to making Woodford the best it can be.
