Cover Teacher (KS 2)

Part-Time (0.6)

Do you . . .

• Believe that teaching and learning should be fun?
• Enjoy working as part of a committed, child-focused team?
• Understand that children are people, not numbers - and believe that even schools with strong academic results can still treat children thoughtfully, kindly and as individuals?

Our small, friendly and successful primary school needs an experienced teacher to provide non-contact cover in our four Key Stage 2 classes, during the autumn term in the first instance. Ideally we are looking for someone to work Wednesday to Friday. Some additional hours may also be available for candidates who are qualified and experienced to deliver a maths catch-up programme in Year 3. The post is offered on a temporary contract, pending a new assistant headteacher appointment later in the year, and is therefore not suitable for an NQT.

Our happy, well-resourced school is conveniently located just five minutes' walk from Canary Wharf and we are a cheerful team serving well-behaved children who are keen to learn. We work together with a common purpose - to ensure that school is a stimulating and exciting experience for our children every day, and that every child is properly supported to do the very best they can.

Our new colleague will:

• Have high expectations and pay attention to the detail of children's individual social and learning needs;
• Have a genuine commitment to the celebration of diversity;
• Enjoy working from first principles, not worksheets.

The leadership team is experienced and well-established, and we are absolutely committed to ongoing staff development. The school was graded 'good' by Ofsted earlier in the year.

For an informal conversation about this post with the headteacher, Mike Hirst, or to arrange a visit to the school, please send an email to head@sevenmills.towerhamlets.sch.uk.
