We see care as having high expectations; nurturing our pupils; rules and routines. This is what makes our pupils feel safe and achieve so well. We do what’s right for the children in our context, no matter their background. If you have a strong commitment to leading a team and delivering high standards of teaching and learning in EYFS, then we would love to hear from you.

• be an excellent classroom practitioner, modelling effective teaching and learning within EYFS
• have a keen interest in developing our Early Years curriculum
• be eager to develop your own practice further
