• Has experience of teaching within the Early Years Foundation Stage (this could be as a student teacher).
  • Demonstrates a strong understanding of child development, early learning and successful transition into school
  • Is passionate about ensuring all children are supported, challenged and inspired to flourish
  • Works effectively as part of a collaborative team and values partnership working
  • Has excellent interpersonal and communication skills
  • Is committed to high standards of teaching and learning within an inclusive environment
  • Is supportive of the Christian ethos and vision of our school to “Be the Light”

  • Enthusiastic children who enjoy learning and are eager to thrive
  • A strong and positive school community with excellent parental support
  • Opportunities to contribute to the development of our expanding Early Years provision
  • A school where relationships, wellbeing and inclusion are at the heart of all we do
  • Opportunities for continued professional development and growth

If you are an inspiring teacher who is ready to make a difference and “be the Light” in our school community, we would love to hear from you.
