• Monitoring progress and using assessment to inform teaching
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to support pupil achievement

What the school offers:

• Strong and supportive leadership team with a clear vision
• Well-established behaviour systems that allow learning to come first
• A collaborative staff culture with shared ideas and resources
• Genuine opportunities for development and progression
• Pupils who are engaged, respectful and keen to learn

The ideal teacher will:

• Be confident in managing a classroom and delivering strong outcomes
• Have high expectations for all pupils
• Be reflective, reliable and committed to improving practice
• Work well as part of a team while also taking ownership of their class
