You will have the opportunity to lead and develop key areas of school improvement, working collaboratively with staff to ensure that all children receive a high-quality, broad and engaging curriculum.

With a strong focus on Early Years practice, you will model high-quality teaching and support colleagues to develop their practice, pedagogy and classroom strategies. The role includes a significant teaching commitment of at least 0.8, providing an excellent opportunity to remain closely connected to classroom practice while developing your leadership experience.

You will also support the development of staff through coaching, professional development and effective line management, creating a culture where colleagues feel supported, challenged and empowered to achieve their best.

The role offers an exciting opportunity for an ambitious teacher who is ready to take the next step in their leadership journey and make a significant contribution to school improvement. You will work collaboratively across the school, build strong relationships with colleagues and the wider school community, and help ensure that every child receives the support, challenge and opportunities they need to thrive.
