This is not a Bath & North East Somerset Council Vacancy
We’re looking for an enthusiastic Early Years Class Teacher to join our inclusive, creative school where outdoor learning and children’s wellbeing take centre stage.
Twerton Nursery & Infant School is a 2-form entry infant school with an onsite Nursery for 2 and 3 year olds. We are an LA Maintained school and we work closely with 6 other primary schools, in BANES and Somerset, within the South Gloucester Learning Alliance, which provides wide-ranging support and CPD. The school has a long-established reputation for being both inclusive and responsive to children’s individual needs.
We have an excellent on-site Forest School, providing fantastic outdoor learning for all children, including those with additional needs. We also follow the Thrive approach, which supports children’s wellbeing and mental health. Our motto is ‘Play, learn, grow; live well together”.
We are one of seven schools in BANES who have taken part in the St John’s Primary Empowerment Programme which has enabled us to work closely over a sustained period of time with key delivery partners:
* Ruth Miskin Education
* Brighter Futures
* White Rose Maths
* HCRG Care Group (Speech and Language)
* Wiltshire Outdoor Learning Team
* Language for Life
* Voice 21
We also enjoy close community links and receive support from:
* Bath Recreation additional PE provision
* Bath City Football Club Play Support and afterschool club
We have an engaging and creative EYFS Curriculum and we are continuing to develop Language for Life in the nursery and use Drawing Club and Curious Quests throughout the school. Consequently, we are very keen to recruit a teacher with a passion to continue this excellent work.
This is a permanent position working Thursdays and Fridays each week. However, we will also consider appointing a teacher willing to cover PPA on a Wednesday as well.
