Job Introduction
ABOUT CARSWELL
Are you looking for a school which puts kindness and compassion at the heart of interactions with children?
A school which helps children embrace who they are as individuals?
A school which is committed to providing a creative and memorable curriculum?
A school where staff wellbeing is a priority?
A school with a funny, kind and supportive team?
Carswell is an exceptional school, an ideal community for you to spend the next phase of your teaching career. We feel this is true for many reasons, but two stand out – our culture, and the value we offer our children, both educationally and holistically.
Carswell is a warm, welcoming, diverse and safe school where we listen to and recognise what makes every single one of our children special. As a teacher, just as we do with our children, we will value your individual contribution, develop you in your role, and nurture your aspirations. We want our teachers to succeed just as much as we do our students.
We pay very close attention to the progress of our children throughout the year in all subjects. We are heavily focused on using this information to better know each individual child and what should be the next steps in their learning. We pride ourselves on being able to not just get the best of our children academically, and but also to help them develop as rounded young people. We are confident that as a teacher at Carswell, you will enrich your own career development too.
THE ROLE
We need:
Someone to join and lead our excellent EYFS team as the EYFS teacher
Someone who can plan lessons to meet the needs of all the children in the class
Someone who is relentless in their pursuit of excellence
ABOUT YOU
We are looking for someone with lots of energy, a ‘can do’ attitude, relentless positivity, a sense of humour with the ability to form effective relationships with children, parents and colleagues.
Prior experience of working with children between the ages of 3-11 would be an advantage but is not essential as training will be available for the right candidate.
