EYFS/KS1 Class Teacher

EYFS/KS1 Class Teacher, Maternity Cover

Required for: W/C 24th February 2025 – following the Spring Half Term break.

The governors of Brough School are looking to appoint an EYFS/KS1 teacher to join our lovely and thriving village school, to cover a period of maternity leave. The post is in our fabulous Acorns Class, comprising Reception and Year 1 pupils.  Please have a look at our website to get a feel for the school: www.broughschool.org.

Brough Community Primary School is a thriving, successful school with a great staff team.  We are rated ‘Good in all areas’ by Ofsted (2019) and are national leaders in online learning.  Our curriculum offer celebrates our local environment and we are a passionate Eco-School.   We have an outstanding outdoor area as part of our Early Years provision and have recently upgraded the classroom space and resources in Acorns Class.  It is a fabulous place to teach and work!

We would be happy to consider a job-share arrangement for this post.  We would also be keen to support the appointed candidate with transition into the role, with a handover from our current skilled member of the teaching team in Acorns Class.

This is an exciting opportunity for any teacher seeking to work in a progressive, caring school which is at the heart of its community.

• have a passion for the environment – e.g. a Forest Schools qualification
• be up-to-date with approaches to teaching and keen to take on new challenges in the profession
• have experience of delivering systematic, synthetic phonics programs (we use Little Wandle)
• be able to maintain our warm and welcoming environment, to enable all children to reach their full potential
