We are seeking a friendly and dynamic teacher to join our large and established teaching team for our lovely Nursery class which welcomes three year-olds for both 15 and 30 hours of entitlement. This role is crucial in supporting our aspirational and ‘good’ school to continue to improve, as we look to always provide the very best for our wonderfully diverse children and families.

• A kind and caring person, enjoying the bustling life of our diverse school family and always looking to recognise our polite and welcoming children.
• An excellent English speaker and writer.
• Efficient and effective in your working practices and able to prioritise well.

In return, our team can offer:

• An optimistic and close-knit senior leadership team with a track record of improving schools.
• A firmly established ethos of caring for one another in our school family.
• A strong middle and senior leadership team who will guide and nurture you through your role.
• A commitment to professional development, and a belief in driving improvement through looking outwards to the world beyond our walls.
• The opportunity to work with a wider professional team of unique schools, all brilliantly supported by a Trust who strongly value the individual school’s character, ethos and approaches.
• A beautiful and spacious school environment filled with love, light and kindness.
• Secure car parking and a staff wellbeing package.
