1. A collaborative environment with a SaLT hub, SEMH provision, and excellent classroom facilities
2. An aligned curriculum that streamlines planning and supports creative delivery
3. An enhanced CPD programme, including weekly sessions led by the headteacher (NPQLTD), instructional coaching, and regular staff meetings
4. A leadership team committed to staff wellbeing, inclusion, and high-impact teaching.

About You:

We're looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Year 1 Teacher who is experienced working in Key Stage 1, and also:

1. Holds QTS or QTLS
2. Has strong knowledge of phonics and ideally Read Write Inc (RWI)
3. Is confident managing a class with SEN and behavioural needs
4. Uses a calm, consistent, and nurturing approach
5. Can create an engaging learning environment tailored to individual needs
