We are seeking to appoint a Class Teacher who will be able to make a positive contribution to the continuing development of our school. This is initially a fixed term contract of 12 months.
We are a large four-form entry junior school. Each year group works as a team with a year leader who provides support for both curriculum and pastoral issues. Teamwork is a strength of the school at both year and subject level. Our planning structures place class teachers at the heart of the process, supported by a framework created at a whole school and year based level. We also have an inclusion and intervention team led by one of our deputy heads. The team, which includes a child and family worker, a learning support manager, a mentor/nurture assistant and an intervention assistant targets support at special needs, underachievement and vulnerable children and offers a range of support to class teachers in meeting individual needs. We also have play leaders who support vulnerable children during the lunchtime period.
We are committed to raising standards at an academic level and we are also committed to raising standards in children’s personal development – hence our vision statement. We want to be a successful happy school for children, staff, parents and governors. Initiatives to develop parent partnerships led by our deputy headteacher and assistant head are having an impact on school improvement. We regularly ask parents for their opinions about various aspects of the school and act on their feedback.
