Likely working in EYFS

It is our belief that all children should have an inspiring educational experience filled with fun and stimulating opportunities to learn, that develops their curiosity and a love of learning. We understand the importance of fostering the knowledge and skills that are necessary as the foundations for their future education. We enjoy extending children’s learning through focusing on their interests and weaving that into their daily curriculum and we create a rich and entertaining learning environment, with a heavy focus on outdoor learning and ‘real life’ hands on learning. We are therefore excited to recruit for a Teaching Assistant to join our EYFS Team, and help ensure all children have the very best start in life, and their educational journey.

At Oundle, we are proud to support our pupils to ‘be the best we can be.’ Following a successful Ofsted inspection in November 2023 inspectors reported that our three threads of ‘joy, kindness and resilience, are ‘weaved throughout life at school.’ In doing so, we seek to enable all pupils, regardless of their starting points, to flourish as individuals and reach their full potential. By learning to keep an on aspiring to ‘be the best they can be,’ our children achieve well and strive for more.

This goal extends towards our staff too. We acknowledge and appreciate the hardworking passion that our community commit to our school, and our success is due in no small part of their dedication and professionalism. We support staff with CPD, opportunities and training to ‘be the best they can be.’ Ofsted inspectors reported that ‘there is a calm yet excited feel around the school and the relationships between pupils and staff are highly respectful.’

Oundle is ‘particularly ambitious for those who are disadvantaged including those with special educational need and/or disability’ (Ofsted 2023) and therefore we expect the successful candidate to share in this motivation.

The Successful Candidate Will Therefore

• Be approachable, friendly and positive about their role in education and contribution to our whole school community.
• Is committed to supporting, motivating and challenging the learning of children of all abilities within the provision.
• Is a positive team player, able to work with all EYFS practitioners to create a dynamic and progressive approach to our extended EYFS setting.
• Displays confidence in using a range of age-appropriate behaviour management and support skills.
• Ability to work effectively, flexibly and independently.
