Emmaville Primary School

The Head Teacher and Governors of Emmaville Primary School are seeking to appoint two outstanding teachers to join our friendly and successful school.

This is an exciting opportunity to be a member of a forward-thinking school, which has the wellbeing of the pupils at the heart of its ethos. The staff at Emmaville support every child in all aspects of their development, not just their academic achievements. We expect that this will be central to your professional and personal values.

• Be able to plan appropriate learning which builds on prior knowledge and focuses on key skills
• Be able to assess, monitor and track effectively to ensure rapid progress of all groups of learners
• Be committed to raising standards
• Have the ability to lead and deploy staff effectively to support learning
• Forge strong relationships with parents, governors and the wider school community
• Support our school ethos by being outstanding role models, leading by example to children and staff
• Be creative and inspiring in their teaching
• Have high expectations of children's behaviour and achievements

• Have a clear understanding of what constitutes excellent teaching and learning

• Be able to work flexibly and collaboratively within a highly effective team

We can offer:

• A learning community with highly motivated children
• A wonderful learning environment
• A team of professionals who aspire to provide outstanding provision
• A supportive and effective governing body
• Supportive parents who appreciate the work of the school
• A clear commitment to continuing professional development

The children would like:

• A person who is fair and kind

• Someone who teaches exciting lessons
• A person who challenges them to do their best
• Someone who respects children
• Someone who keeps them safe
• A person who smiles and is generous

ECTs are encouraged to apply.
