This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic Early Career Teacher to step into a Reception class role within a supportive and forward-thinking environment.

• Creating a nurturing, engaging, and inclusive classroom environment
• Assessing and tracking pupil progress in line with EYFS standards
• Working closely with colleagues, support staff, and parents
• Supporting children with a range of needs, including SEN and EAL

• Strong understanding of the EYFS curriculum and early child development
• Passion for play-based, creative learning
• Positive behaviour management and a nurturing teaching style
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• A proactive, reflective mindset and eagerness to grow professionally
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
