Why This Role Matters
In Lower Key Stage 2, children transition into increasingly independent learners. You will not just be delivering a curriculum; you will build the environment where children aged 7-9 build confidence, explore ideas, and feel safe to try, fail, and succeed. At Edith Moorhouse, you join a vibrant community that looks after the whole child, from SEND parent socials to active learning beyond the classroom.
What You’ll Bring
- A Heart-First Approach: You build relational trust so pupils feel secure, seen, and valued.
- Adaptive LKS2 Practice: You modify learning effortlessly so every pupil can access key concepts across the curriculum.
- High Expectations: You model purpose and enthusiasm that encourages children to take pride in their work.
- Collaborative Mindset: You enjoy working alongside colleagues, sharing ideas, and contributing to wider school life.
The Edith Moorhouse Difference
- Professional Agency: We trust our teachers as experts. You have the autonomy to bring LKS2 subjects to life in ways that spark curiosity.
- Shared Growth: Supported by the River Learning Trust, you gain access to research-informed CPLD and peer networks across Oxfordshire.
- Grounded Community: Situated in Carterton, we maintain strong links with local families and foster a team where staff look out for one another.
