Class Teacher (KS2)

We are looking for someone who loves their job, is reflective and has a drive to get better at how they teach. Teaching and learning looks a bit different here (based on evidence, research and what cognitive science tell us about how to optimise learning), but we are ready to provide you with knowledge and skills you need to continually refine and improve your practice.

If you have a track record of great practice, embrace change (but only where there is proven impact) and can form strong, successful relationships with children and adults alike, come and join us!,

• QTS
• Know, understand, appreciate and work within the well-established culture of the school
• An interest in cognitive science and what it tells us about how to optimise learning

• Have high expectations of all learners and know how to use these to achieve the best possible outcomes for pupils
• Willing to embrace and fully participate in the school's bespoke CPD processes
• Able to demonstrate that they can collaborate effectively with a year group colleague, staff in their phase and across the school
