Oakfield First School provides an outstanding education for children. Channeling individual capabilities into academic success is the goal, as part of a holistic and uniquely attentive educational strategy. Our children enjoy an enriching, engaging and enjoyable education
The Role
Your focus will be to make a real impact by guiding pupils, at this transformative age, toward a new path and helping to shape their behaviours for the better.

The Person
An empathic, resilient and highly motivated Primary Teacher, with an interest in Early Years, who got into the role for all the right reasons, you'll be ready to share the challenges that our children face. There for the long-term satisfaction that behavioural transformation brings, you'll know that some days may not be as rewarding as others, but that it's all a part of the journey toward transforming lives.
That's because you're a realist who knows that making a difference means maintaining an on-going dialogue with your peers and managers to keep developing the approach for each child. What's more, you'll be fully aware of the standards Ofsted is looking out for and always keen to go above and beyond them - never anything less than engaged and engaging.
For a passionate Primary Teacher who knows that pupil journeys are on-going and not always easy, it's an amazing next step in your career.
