You need to have a secure understanding of the national curriculum, with particular attention to Maths and English, and have the ability to adapt your teaching style to meet the needs of each child within the mixed age class.
We expect you to positively promote inclusion and work creatively to inspire the children to enjoy learning and to meet their full potential. You need to demonstrate strong communication skills and have the ability to build good relationships with children, parents and colleagues. You must be highly organised and have experience in planning lessons which will build skills and subject knowledge whilst allowing assessment of the children’s progress.
We can offer you a kind and supportive environment in which you can find CPD opportunities to suit your individual career plan.
