Clear behaviour systems embedded across the school
Well-resourced indoor and outdoor learning environments
Excellent transport links, including close proximity to the Elizabeth Line and local bus routes

As Reception Teacher, you will:
Take full class responsibility for one Reception class
Deliver engaging, play-based and structured learning in line with the EYFS framework
Assess and track pupil progress effectively
Plan collaboratively with the parallel Reception teacher
Attend staff meetings and contribute to phase discussions
