Due to increased pupil numbers in our Early Years Unit, we are now looking to recruit a Nursery Lead Practitoner / Manager who is passionate about teaching the youngest members of our school.
Our school based nursery takes children starting from 3-years old, and is located in our Garden House building next to our Reception class. Our current provision provides a nurturing environment, focusing on play-based learning and opportunities for creativity throughout. We use the Read Write Inc phonics scheme to teach phonics, starting in the summer term for nursery children. We have embedded the Early Years Framework in our curriculum and we use guidance set out in the Development Matters programme for our Nursery to support our planning within topic based units. We have a large Early Years stand alone building and large dedicated outdoor area; as well as two large indoor learning areas, we also have a separate Early Years sensory room, hard and soft outdoor areas and an Early Years allottment.
Our Early Years Team have strong links with our parents, and the relationship plays an important role in how we work together to ensure all our children love coming to school to learn, explore and have fun.
As our pupil numbers grow, we are looking to expand our team, which already includes experienced support staff with level 3 and level 5 qualifications.
We are looking to recruit a Nursery Lead Practitoner / Manager who is passionate about teaching, works collaboratively within a team, and is full of ideas for excellent learning opportunities. Qualities therefore will include:
1. An excellent, reflective practitioner with a passion for teaching and learning.
2. a practitioner who is skilled in the teaching of phonics (we use RWI)
3. a practitioner with a good understanding of the Early Years Framework and Curriculum
4. Someone with a sense of humour and lots of energy.
5. Someone with commitment, who is innovative and not afraid to bring new ideas for excellence.
6. Someone who has excellent organisation and communication skills.
