We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher to join our team to secure outstanding outcomes for all pupils at Gracelands Nursery School. At Gracelands, we pride ourselves on our creative and holistic approach to pre-nursery and nursery education. Our approach empowers children to make their own choices and helps them to be self-motivated individuals. We offer a play-based curriculum, with the children at the centre of everything we do.

Gracelands Nursery School in Sparkbrook is in a cluster of 2 Local Authority Maintained Nursery Schools along with Jakeman Nursery School in Balsall Heath, and cluster leaders and teachers work collaboratively to provide high standards of education.

The teacher will promote and support the vision and direction of the school and the wider Federation of Maintained Nursery Schools.

The Birmingham Federation of Maintained Nursery schools is made up of 9 Nursery Schools delivering inclusive high-quality early education and care to children aged 0-5 years across Birmingham. We have a vibrant and enthusiastic staff of qualified teachers, teaching assistants, nursery officers, play workers, administrators and other support staff who make up our team.

As well as exceptional and inclusive provision for children and families, we are committed to the training and professional development of our staff, and provide opportunities for learning and collaboration across the cluster of 2 schools and the wider Federation.

Our settings are culturally diverse with a large number of languages spoken. We have a reputation for supporting children with a range of complex special educational needs and disabilities, as well as support for families who may have additional challenges in their lives.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all children, and expect our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Suitability checks will be undertaken including background, identity, qualification, work history and two professional references.
