MATERNITY COVER - SENIOR TEACHER

Ready for a new challenge?

We need someone to cover a senior leadership position in Early Years. You will be in charge of developing continuous provision in Early Years across two classes, as well as being a senior leader in the school.

There are two EYFS classes, each with 22 children. You will be the teacher of Apple class. THe two classes are linked and work as one unit with two experienced full time TAs.

There are four TLR 2 posts across the school. These senior teachers take responsibility for the quality of teaching as well as an allocated area for development. They are vital to the smooth running of the school. This is a really good opportunity for an experienced and ambitious teacher to develop leadership skills within a supportive environment and could lead to further employment with the school.

You will need to have a really good understanding of EYFS and continuous provision. You will need also to provide evidence of outstanding practice in the primary classroom. Please state your curriculum strengths and experience on your application and call us to arrange a visit.
