We are very excited to be setting up a Nurture Class within school and are looking for someone to come and work alongside our existing member of staff. The class is being set up initially for up to 4 children and there will be lots of opportunities to engage in Forest School and outdoor learning sessions.

• Provide mental health and wellbeing support on a 1:1 basis, or as a group as required
• Work alongside other members of staff modelling positive relationships
• Provide pastoral support and care
• Ensure the Nurture Class is a place where all our learners thrive, feel safe, have all their support needs met and are given every opportunity to achieve their potential.

In return we can offer you:

• The chance to be part of a happy, supportive team
• The opportunity to be a part of a positive and thriving school community 
• High quality CPD

In our recent Ofsted inspection (January 2023) we were graded Good overall, with Outstanding for Behaviour & Attitudes and Outstanding for Personal Development. If you would like to be part of our very special community and would like more details about this job vacancy, we would be delighted to hear from you and show you around our amazing school. 

Information about the school

Hawkhurst CE Primary School is very proud to be a Nurture UK School. We pride ourselves on our caring ethos and the mental health and well-being support we offer to pupils, staff and families. We are just in the process of having a new classroom built, which is going to be for nurture provision. The school benefits from spacious classrooms and plentiful resources with exciting school grounds, incorporating a secret garden, an adventure playground, a Forest School, a pond area and a large sports field. Our last Ofsted inspection (January 2023) graded us as Good with Outstanding for Behaviour and Attitudes and Outstanding for Personal Development.

Our pupils are eager to learn and succeed. Our goal is for every child to reach their full potential and this is achieved through trips to places of interest and visits from outside speakers, as well as the opportunity to participate in sports tournaments and events. We are passionate about music and our KS2 children have the opportunity to learn a brass instrument at no cost. We can also offer piano, singing and guitar lessons throughout the school. We have a hugely successful school choir who enjoy preparing and singing at The Young Voices Concert each year at the 02 Arena.

Outdoor learning is high on our list of priorities. EYFS and Year 1 spend an afternoon a week in our own Forest School and Years 2 - 6 do an afternoon every 5 weeks. We have an outdoor classroom which is set up to hold up to two classes at a time and we encourage each class to care for a little allotment area.

The staff team is friendly and caring. We encourage professional development in areas that will enhance the professional skills of our teachers as well as support staff and improve the aims of the school.

Prospective members of staff are encouraged to come and meet us and to view the school before making application for a post.
