At Norton Hill Primary School, we take great pride in offering a vibrant and supportive learning environment where every child is encouraged to thrive. As part of the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership, we benefit from shared expertise, resources and a strong community spirit that underpins everything we do.

• Maintain discipline in line with our behaviour policy.
• Prepare and mark work to facilitate positive pupil development.
• Meet requirements for the assessment and recording of pupils' development.
• Ensure that pupils are safe and that all child protection and safeguarding measures are followed in accordance with school and national policies.
• Provide feedback to parents and carers on a pupil's progress at parents' evenings and other meetings.
• Coordinate activities and resources within a specific area of the curriculum, and support colleagues in the delivery of this specialist area.
• Work with other teachers, teaching assistants and other relevant professionals to plan and coordinate work.
• Keep up to date with changes and developments in the structure of the curriculum.
• Organise and take part in school events, outings and activities.
• Liaise with colleagues, parents and school governors to maximise their involvement in the school and the development of resources for the school.
• Meet with other professionals such as education welfare officers and educational psychologists, if required.

We offer a competitive salary, along with access to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, providing a secure retirement income and family protection. Your terms and conditions of employment are in line with the nationally agreed Burgundy Book, which provides a strong foundation of entitlements.
