* Excellent behaviour – pupils are eager to please, responsive to routines and genuinely enjoy school life.

* Young learners with big enthusiasm – pupils bring energy, humour and openness, making every day engaging and uplifting.
* A perfect age – children are ready for challenge, excited by reading and at a pivotal stage in building confidence.
* Strong relationships – you get to know pupils well and play a key role in shaping their attitudes to learning before they move to high school.
Responsibilities & Attributes
* Has strong interpersonal and organisational skills.
* Can inspire, challenge and motivate pupils.
* Brings positivity, creativity and a willingness to grow.
* Has experience in KS2 or KS3 (both welcome).
