Year 1 Teacher

Are you looking to inspire the next generation of future leaders? Do you feel confident in achieving progress within a KS1 setting?

An opportunity has presented to work in a Year 1 class for a wonderful smaller than average primary school in Marple Stockport. This is a full-time Year 1 class teacher position which will begin June 2024 and will run for 1 year on a maternity cover basis. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, a great communicator, team player and will have experience teaching in KS1. Applications from ECT's as well as experienced teachers will be considered as long as you have direct experience teaching in KS1.

About the School

The school is smaller than average and really encourages that 'family feel' environment. It has such a vibrant community that values everyone's contributions and understands the importance of effective partnerships. The school strives for academic excellence through a challenging creative, inspiring curriculum.

Year 1 Teacher

As the Year 1 teacher, you will be responsible for the progress and attainment of approximately 25 pupils with a wide range of abilities. You will be required to develop strong pupil relationships based on trust and mutual respect and encourage pupils to make positive choices. Behaviour at this school can be challenging so you will need to initially adopt a firm approach but there is an effective behaviour policy in place which encourages pupils to make good decisions.

As the Year 1 teacher, your responsibilities will be but not limited to:

• Undertake full class teaching responsibilities for a Year 1 class
• Thoroughly plan and deliver engaging tasks that motivate and challenge ranging learners
• Make use of both the indoor and outdoor learning environment and provide activities that support continuous provision allowing children to explore and take risks
• Review, report and reflect on daily practice conducting individual pupil observations and providing written feedback in the form of student portfolios.
• Have a secure knowledge and understanding of the letters and sounds phonics scheme and plan targeted interventions to bridge gaps and support pupils not meeting expectations with additional reading/writing support.
• Communicate effectively with parent/guardians via Class Dojo and use this tool to keep them informed of individual pupil behaviour, homework and school events.
• Contribute to extra-curricular clubs utilising your area of expertise and attend wider school

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic school and work alongside a hard-working, driven team of staff. This position would suit a dedicated, enthusiastic Year 1 teacher who is ready for a new challenge and eager to make a strong impact in a KS1. This school is located in central Stockport and therefore benefits from convenient public transport links. It also has a large, secure on-site car park with spaces available for all working members of staff.
