Lead or contribute to enrichment activities, trips, and school events that broaden pupils’ horizons. What You'll Bring Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and proven experience teaching in Key Stage 2, ideally Year 6. A deep understanding of the KS2 curriculum and SATs preparation strategies. Strong classroom management skills rooted in empathy, consistency, and high expectations. The ability to inspire, motivate, and connect with pupils from diverse backgrounds.

supporting pupils who experience challenges with social communication,
emotional regulation and sensory processing differences. You will be creative,
proactive and highly organised, ensuring that pupils feel safe, supported and
fully included within school life. Our aim is to help pupils develop the social
and emotional skills they need to live happy, fulfilling and as independent lives
as possible.
