This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, positive, and competent professional who wants to work with us to improve our pupils' life chances and benefit from high-quality training and development. The teacher will be based in a Year 3 class working Thursday and Friday each week.

About You:

We are seeking an inclusive practitioner who is passionate about making a difference. You will be proactive and well-organised, with high expectations and a commitment to achieving the best outcomes for our pupils.

You will be an excellent communicator and team player, and you will provide our pupils with the skills and experiences that enable them to be confident, independent, and active learners as they continue their journey towards a full, successful, and happy life.

You will be able to:

• Show a detailed knowledge of the development and progression of subject(s) taught and keep up to date with developments in pedagogy for the subject(s) taught.
• Set appropriate and demanding targets for pupils' learning and motivation, identifying clear teaching objectives, content, structure and sequences to ensure all pupils can reach their potential in the subject taught and in literacy, numeracy and ICT.
• Use teaching methods that keep pupils engaged, including stimulating curiosity, effective questioning and response, clear presentation, and good use of resources.
• Maintain high standards of pupil behaviour through focused teaching, clear rules that pupils respect, and consistent handling of inappropriate behaviour in line with the behaviour policy.
• Build supportive relationships with parents.

For all teaching posts, we welcome applications from both experienced and recently qualified teachers (ECTs).

If you are a teacher who can make learning fun, engaging and memorable, while being reflective and continually seeking to improve your practice, we would love to hear from you.
