This is a unique opportunity to teach mathematics in small groups of approximately 15 pupils, allowing you to focus on high-quality teaching and outstanding pupil progress without the wider responsibilities of class teaching.

• Week B: Years 2, 4 and 6

Working with small teaching groups allows you to build strong relationships with pupils, provide high-quality feedback and ensure excellent progress for every learner.

We Are Looking For Someone Who:

• Holds HLTA status (or has equivalent experience).

• Has excellent subject knowledge, particularly in mathematics.

• Can deliver engaging, high-quality lessons that inspire children to achieve their full potential.

• Has high expectations of behaviour and achievement.

• Builds positive relationships with pupils, families and colleagues.

• Is organised, adaptable and committed to continuous professional development.

• Shares our vision of educating the whole child within a caring and supportive school community.

What the school offers its staff

We Can Offer:

• Friendly, enthusiastic and exceptionally well-behaved children who love learning.

• Small mathematics teaching groups of around 15 pupils.

• A supportive and experienced staff team.

• Outstanding professional development opportunities.

• Extensive school grounds, Forest School provision and an established Eco Garden.

• A welcoming village school with a strong sense of community.

• The opportunity to make a genuine difference in a school where high expectations and nurturing relationships go hand in hand.

If you are passionate about helping children achieve excellence whilst developing confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and encouraged.
