Great Early Years teaching turns curiosity into learning.

Planning stimulating continuous and enhanced provision

Developing communication, language, literacy and early mathematics

Delivering effective phonics and early-reading teaching

Observing and assessing children's development

Supporting personal, social and emotional development

Adapting provision for children with SEND

Working closely with Early Years practitioners and families

You should have:

QTS

Recent EYFS or Reception teaching experience

Secure understanding of early reading and phonics

Excellent classroom organisation

A creative, nurturing and reflective approach

Salary is dependent on experience and qualifications, within the advertised £40,372–£59,864 range.

For an Early Years Teacher who values purposeful learning as much as creativity and play, this is an excellent September opportunity.
