  • Confident delivery of the Year 5 curriculum, including writing, arithmetic, and reasoning

  • Excellent behaviour management and relationship-building skills

  • High expectations for progress, participation, and presentation

  • A reflective approach and willingness to work closely with colleagues

Both experienced teachers and strong ECTs with relevant KS2 placements are welcome to apply.
