The Role Due to the needs of our youngest learners, our academy are seeking a class teacher (FTC) to bring primary expertise to support a cohort of learners working below their age-related curriculum level. Our school continues to grow and develop and we now work with over 100 children and young people and their families. This role has oversight of learners across years 5 to 8 who are accessing learning at KS3 level. As a class teacher you will be fully involved in the strategic planning and daily operation of your class team (staff) and the learners. We are a close staff team, very committed to our learners, our peers and each other. All staff meet every Monday and Tuesday after school. Teachers (whole school and phase specific) and Middle Leaders rotate on a Wednesday meeting. Our young people have diverse and complex needs and supporting them may include assisting with aspects of personal care. We are committed to ensuring this support is provided with dignity, sensitivity and respect, and applicants should feel comfortable undertaking personal care as part of their role.
