• Actively participating in wider school life, including staff meetings, parent-teacher consultations, and planning/supervising engaging school trips.

What we're looking for:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a strong track record of successful teaching in Key Stage 2.
• Comprehensive knowledge of the KS2 National Curriculum across all subjects.
• Proven ability to plan and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons that cater to diverse learning needs and prepare pupils for academic milestones.
• Excellent classroom management skills that promote a positive, inclusive, and productive learning environment.

• Patience and adaptability to support children learning at their own pace, providing encouragement and tailored assistance.
• Strong organisational skills to effectively manage your workload, planning, and classroom activities.
