• Encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity across the curriculum
• Creating a calm, positive classroom where pupils feel supported, challenged, and motivated
• Adapting teaching to meet the needs of SEND and EAL learners so every child can access learning
• Managing behaviour through clear routines, consistency, and positive reinforcement
• Working closely with TAs, parents, and senior leaders to support progress
• Playing an active part in school life while upholding safeguarding at all times

The right fit for this role will be someone who:

• Holds UK QTS
• Has recent experience in KS2, with a solid understanding of the Year 4 curriculum
• Brings a calm, confident presence into the classroom
• Supports pupils to become more independent and resilient learners
• Builds strong, trusting relationships with pupils, staff, and families
• Is genuinely passionate about helping children grow in confidence and capability
