We are looking to recruit an outstanding EYFS/KS1 Class Teacher who can inspire our pupils to learn with enthusiasm and enjoy the experiences that school can bring to a child. Ideally, the Class Teacher would teach in Nursery in the morning and cover in EYFS/KS1 in the afternoon – however depending on the successful candidate and their experience, they may be placed in EYFS or KS1 class full-time. ECTs are welcome to apply for this post.
