This is a unique opportunity to join a highly successful school and become part of a supportive team who consistently strive to enhance teaching and learning experiences in order to raise educational outcomes.
About the School
The school has high expectations of children and believes there are no limits on learning. A strong commitment to work in partnerships with parents, carers and the local community ensures a high quality education is accessible for all. Offering a creative and inclusive curriculum, the school aims to maximise every learning opportunity with a strong focus on Maths and English.

About the Role

- Thoroughly plan and deliver engaging lessons that motivate and challenge learners as well as stimulate curiosity and encourage learning beyond the classroom
- Use a range of assessment strategies to review, report and reflect on daily practice to inform future planning and improve educational outcomes
- Adopt the schools marking policy by providing time for pupils to reflect on their work and complete action points to consolidate or extend learning
- Ensure activities are relevant, meaningful and encourage children to think critically
- Utilise innovative approaches that cater for visual, audio and kinaesthetic learning preferences
- Create a collaborative classroom where pupils are encouraged to work in teams as well as individuals.
