Early Years Class Teacher

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a full time teacher to join our Early Years team at Bishops Down Primary and Nursery School. We would like to hear from both experienced teachers with EYs experience and NQTs.

We would like to appoint someone who has lots of enthusiasm who can inspire and motivate our children. You need to be ambitious and committed to work alongside our Early Years Lead and be a strong member of the team.

You must be able to plan highly effectively to meet the needs of all children. Excellent classroom management skills and high expectations of all pupils are essential as well as a knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.

Information about the school

Bishops Down Primary and Nursery School is an inclusive, non-denominational school working in partnership with the Tunbridge Wells Primary Schools Collaborative Trust. The school was built in 1967 and is situated on the western edge of Tunbridge Wells, with extensive grounds, including two fields, a pond, a hard surface playground and woodland area.

We have over 200 pupils in the primary and nursery classes. We are an innovative school with an Art Studio, a Forest School led by the Kent Hight Weald Partnership and strong links with a number of local secondary schools to extend our science and MFL provision. We also have a Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) designation for 7 children with physical disabilities and 1:1 dedicated trained staff work with these children. Our school has a strong commitment to pastoral care, and our curriculum is packed with exciting learning opportunities, such London trips, sports events and leadership programs that help our children to enjoy their learning and to thrive at school.

We run Wrap Around Care at the beginning of the day and after school for our school and nursery children and during the holidays we run a holiday club for all children in the community.

All those in our school community strive to provide an environment where children are actively encouraged to reach their full potential in all areas of development. Our teachers believe that every child matters and they work to provide high quality teaching which meets the needs of every pupil. As a result, our children become curious, engaged students, who listen and question well and learn in an environment of kindness, responsibility and respect. These values are underpinned in the school's ASPIRE values.

Our staff have high expectations of pupils, in their work and in the way they interact with others. Simply put, we expect children to work to the best of their ability, as well as behave in a polite and responsible manner at all times. This in turn creates a nurturing environment for all and encourages a love of learning.
