EYFS Class Teacher

Our new nursery offering gives an amazing opportunity for staff to contribute to the development of our youngest children. As a new offering, this will allow all new team members to not only contribute day to day but into the development of the overall provision as well. It will offer growth opportunities for staff and children alike and will give those that work in and attend the setting and "let their light shine". This is an opportunity for a teacher to join us and shape the education and development of the youngest children at Polehampton Church of England Infant and Nursery School. It is also a unique chance to shape the curriculum and expectations for our brand new nursery. Pupils from 3 years old initially will be admitted to Polehampton Nursery, with 28 places available per session. We are seeking teachers with previous EY experience (or ECTs) and a passion for early years and Key Stage 1. WHO ARE WE?

Both schools are proud members of The Keys Academy Trust. Our Infant school was rated Good by Ofsted in 2023 (with an Outstanding Early Years), and our Junior school was inspected in November 2024 and achieved Good in all areas.
