Nursery Teacher F1

What skills and experience we're looking for

The children, staff and governors of Ballifield Primary School are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspiring F1 teacher to join our two-form entry primary school.

We are looking for an inspiring and enthusiastic teacher who:

• Is a highly skilled classroom practitioner with high expectations for our pupils.
• Will bring creativity to our children’s learning journeys, inspiring and catering for each and every one of our pupils to ensure their love of learning begins straight away in September.
• Is experienced in the use of formative assessment to identify gaps so that children ‘keep up’ rather than have to ‘catch up’.
• Has excellent interpersonal and communication skills and will work tirelessly with parents and other agencies to ensure that each child’s experience is the very best it can be.
• Has a very good understanding of the teaching of phonics (RWI).
• Enjoys working as part of a team and contributing to its effectiveness.

What the school offers its staff

In return, we can offer:

• The opportunity to work with enthusiastic and well-motivated pupils and supportive parents within a professional, committed, hardworking and friendly team of staff.
• The support of an experienced and committed governing body.
• An opportunity to play a significant role in the future development of the school, which, in March 2022, was judged by Ofsted to be ‘Good’.
• The opportunity to undertake a range of professional development opportunities.

If you are motivated, enthusiastic and have high expectations for all children, we would welcome your application.
