About the Role

- Utilise innovative approaches that cater for visual, audio and kinaesthetic learning preferences
- Use a range of assessment strategies to review, report and reflect on daily practice to inform future planning and improve educational outcomes.
- Demonstrate a secure knowledge and understanding of the Year 5 curriculum and prepare them accordingly for the SATS year ahead.
