We are an inclusive team and we are actively seeking to enhance the diversity of our team. We welcome team members from all backgrounds. We look after our staff with enhanced benefits and ongoing professional and personal development. We're a school nursery setting which is serving our local community with ambition and passion. Our ideal candidate will have: Experience of teaching effectively in an EYFS setting Experience of working with vulnerable children desirable but not essential Experience of working effectively in a high-quality nursery setting, ideally including 2 year old provision A full and relevant Early Years Qualification, Level 3 or above Excellent initiative, problem solving and organisational skills A genuine passion for education and making a difference to the lives of children To apply, please visit our website via the button below. Please note we will be reviewing applications on an on-going basis and this advert may close earlier than advertised depending on the level of response. Early application is advised. To discuss the role, please feel free to email the Principal's PA, Abigail Saleh. ( ) or phone on . Benefits We believe in aiming high, working together, being kind and leading the way. Through weekly individual coaching, year group intellectual preparation time and whole school PD, we invest in your growth and development as a teacher to ensure you can excel in creating the best possible climate for learning for our pupils to thrive in.

This all starts in our primary school, where our pupils develop, and grow a love of learning. We have a strong track-record as a school in making a significant impact on our pupils' lives. We adopt a mastery approach in primary, meaning that our pupils have more time and explicit teaching of the skills and concepts that underpin long term success in academics, enriched by a varied and cultural capital enhancing curriculum which inspires and engages our pupils. Our specialist teaching model allows pupils to benefit from expert teaching in PE, music, art, humanities and science and means all staff have time to plan each subject properly.
