About the role

For us as a school team, we believe it is vital that our children are offered as many experiences as possible to ensure that they are well-equipped to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving society. We work restoratively, placing emphasis on forming sound and positive relationships built on mutual trust.

In our early years provision, we recognise the value in every individual and tailor our curriculum to meet the children's needs. We ensure that learning is fun and full of joy, enabling children to flourish. This is done through a balance of teacher-led activities and continuous provision.

Our expectations are consistently high; not just of ourselves as educators but also of the children and families who make up our community.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic and inspirational in the classroom.

Working in our EYFS, you will motivate and inspire our students, and bring out the best in them.

All appointments are subject to satisfactory pre-employment checks, including a satisfactory Enhanced Criminal Record with Barred List check through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

It is an offence to apply for the role if an applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children (where the role involves this type of regulated activity).
