The children of Ball Green Primary School are delighted to announce that one of their teachers will be having a baby in the coming weeks
As a result, the governors and senior leaders of the school would like the children to help in finding the best replacement that they can.
Our teacher is very kind and caring, always welcoming us with a warm smile and words that make us feel happy and special;
Our teacher is very clever and knows how to plan exciting lessons that challenge our thinking, providing help and support if we need it;
Our lessons always make sense because our teacher asks us lots of questions to find out what we already know and shows us how to know more and remember more;
Our teacher is always very clear about what they expect from us because they show us lots of examples and give us lots of time to practice. If we make mistakes, our teachers point these out quickly so that we can use our 'growth mindsets' and learn from them;
Our teacher always thinks about how much we have to think about and helps us to achieve and succeed through lots of practice, quizzes and challenges. This way we can see our own successes.
If you think that you can live up to the same wonderful standards as our class teacher, we would love for you to come and look around our school and if you like what you see, for you to apply to be our teacher.
Our school is set amongst the fields in-between Ball Green and Norton. It is quite a big school with a large playing field, which we love to use, a woodland area for 'Forest Schools' and a number of playgrounds.
There are two classes in each year group so that our class sizes can be kept small and we all have one teacher and at least one teaching assistant in each room.
The grown-ups in our school work very hard to make sure that 'every child' is given 'every chance,' 'every day.'
