We are seeking to appoint an Early Years / Key Stage 1 teacher to join our supportive and caring team. The post is to teach our amazing reception class for the remainder of this school year and take these children forward into Key Stage 1 in September. This post is suitable for an ECT or more experienced teacher, but expertise in the Early Years Foundation Stage is essential.

 We are looking for an outstanding classroom teacher who:

• Has excellent classroom and personal skills;
• Understands that children need to be happy and feel safe before they can learn;
• Has high expectations of pupil attainment and achievement;
• Is confident and enthusiastic about teaching;
• Has a commitment to creating an inspiring learning environment;
• Has the ability to form excellent partnerships with parents and carers;
• Has empathy with our strong caring Christian ethos;
• A willingness to lead PE is an advantage, but not essential.

We can offer you the following:

• An Outstanding Early Years team (Ofsted May 2022)
• Enthusiastic well behaved children who are willing to learn in a caring and supportive community;
• A unique little school chool set in a beautiful location;
• Engaging and natural outdoor learning environment for Early Years;
• A supportive and caring staff, both within the team at Bodsham and within our Federation at Saltwood;
• Coaching and career development initiatives;

The post is being advertised as a part time role over two or three days a week, with teaching responsibilites for the Receprion Class shared with our Deputy Head Teacher. The post will be a fixed term contract until August 2026.

Bodsham CEP School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The post is subject to an enhanced Disclosure application to the Disclosure and Barring Service and check against the ISA barred list for children.

Information about the school

Bodsham School is set in the heart of the beautiful Kentish countryside and is Federated with Saltwood Church of England Primary school outside Hythe. There are 78 pupils on roll arranged in four classes. Year R are taught separately and there are mixed age classes from Year 1 to Year 6. The Christian ethos is central to the running of the school and there is strong support from our community of parents and carers, as reflected in our Ofsted Inspection in June 2022 which described the school as being Outstanding in the EYFS, Behaviour and Personal Development

Children receive a rich and varied education in our lovely grounds and we use the school minibus to help children experience trips to local sites of interest. Numbers of pupils on the special needs register and receiving free school meals are below the national average.

All staff at Bodsham CEP benefit from our Federation with Saltwood CEP by sharing staff development events, having regular opportunities for collaboration in areas such as moderation and planning and accessing the support and resources a larger school can provide.
