• Can build positive relationships with pupils, families, and your team

• Stay calm and constructive, even when things get a bit lively

• Love working collaboratively with other Year 2 staff and TAs

The school offers:

• A strong ethos built on kindness, consistency, and high expectations

• Shared planning and collaborative CPD

• Well-behaved pupils who enjoy learning

• A hands-on SLT who support, not scrutinise

Essentials:

• UK QTS or equivalent

• Recent experience in Key Stage 1 (especially Year 2)

• A strong grasp of the national curriculum, SATs expectations, and phonics delivery

• Positive references and a can-do attitude
