This is not a Wiltshire Council vacancy therefore please contact Redland Primary School for further information.
Redland Primary School is a popular 10 class primary school in Chippenham, which is well regarded in the community.
As a school, we fundamentally believe in developing and nurturing the whole child. Each child is unique, which is something we celebrate and value as a school. The core skills of English and maths are extremely important, but they alone do not define a child. Providing a curriculum which is enriching and broad, which stimulates interest and curiosity is integral. Alongside this, we actively promote being healthy and as active as possible. We realise that not all children enjoy the same types of sport and activity, so we want to provide them with opportunities to experience a number of alternative sports that can encourage them in a lifelong love of sport and activity. This is supported by educating them in living a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally, through the ‘Jigsaw’ PSHE scheme of learning, and other programmes such as ‘Healthy Heroes.’
We wish to appoint an enthusiastic and creative teacher to join our successful school. The role involves 2.5 days teaching a Year 1 class, and 0.5 day designated to PPA alongside the other class teacher as well as some time for focused intervention work with children. Experience of teaching phonics would be well received. Visits to the school are warmly welcomed.
We wish to appoint someone who:
- Is a dynamic, passionate and reflective teaching practitioner
- Is dedicated and nurturing
- Strives to create an exciting and stimulating learning environment
- Has high expectations for all, and good classroom management
- Is motivated to continually develop their skills and knowledge as a teacher
- Is committed to working collaboratively as part of the Redland Team
- Understands the importance of safeguarding as part of their role
- Can build positive relationships, and has strong interpersonal and communication skills
We can offer you:
- Children who are hardworking, enthusiastic and enjoy learning
- A friendly and supportive staff, with a range of skills and experience
- Opportunities for continued professional development
- A vibrant and supportive school community
- An opportunity to develop your own, knowledge, expertise and practice in a supportive environment.
