EYFS Class Teacher - Springfield Primary

We are actively looking for a passionate teacher to work at our school. This role is a permanent contract for a class teacher initially based in Nursery. We welcome applications from experienced practitioners only as the setting is only 30 places AM & PM & there is no year group parallel colleague, although you will be supported by the EYFS leader, currently reception teacher.  Our Early Years setting has direct access to a large outdoor area including woodland, where we encourage learning outdoors as much as possible. We recently invested substantial amounts into resources to support ensuring both indoor and outdoor environments facilitate the best learning for our youngest pupils.

Springfield Primary is always aiming to be the best it can be, with high aspirations for all our children.  Our thinking and practise are innovative, and we are looking for a teacher with a drive to push this forward.  

We are a committed team, focused on success and would warmly welcome aspirational and motivated applicants who would like to join us on our journey to provide the best possible learning opportunities for our children.  This is an exciting time to join us as we have recently appointed an experienced EYFS phase leader who is developing our early years practice & learning environment. Experience of teaching Early Years is essential.

You will be joining our good and ambitious school. We are eager to appoint an enthusiastic and committed teacher who can make learning exciting and innovative, whilst understanding the importance of accurate assessments. You will need the ability and commitment to facilitate high quality learning to pupils across EYFS and become a full and active member of our teaching staff.
