We are delighted to invite applications for a caring and enthusiastic Year 1 Teacher to join our inclusive and supportive school community in Oxford. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Key Stage 1 practitioner who is passionate about helping children develop confidence, independence, and foundational skills during a crucial stage of their education.
Our school values high expectations, positive relationships, and a nurturing ethos.

Assessment will be central to your practice. You will track pupil progress carefully, identify gaps in learning, and implement interventions to support every child's development. Differentiation and inclusion will ensure that pupils with SEND, EAL, or additional learning needs are supported effectively.
You will work collaboratively with Key Stage 1 colleagues, teaching assistants, and senior leaders to ensure continuity and consistency in learning. Building strong partnerships with parents and carers is also a priority, keeping them informed and involved in their child's learning journey.
