An exciting opportunity has arisen for an EYFS Class Teacher to join Fulbridge Academy, as we continue to develop and expand our Early Years provision, including a dedicated EYFS facility designed to nurture curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning in our youngest children.

• staff wellbeing, work-life balance, and ongoing professional development matter
  
  

Our curriculum is knowledge-rich, thoughtfully sequenced, and informed by evidence-based practice. In EYFS, this is reflected through a strong focus on early language development, purposeful continuous provision, and meaningful adult interactions that support children to build secure foundations for learning and wellbeing.
