Are you a teacher who believes that inclusion isn't a 'bolt-on', but the foundation of a great classroom? At Edith Moorhouse, we are a school on the move, driven by a vibrant community spirit. You won't just be delivering a curriculum; you will be the person who ensures that whether a child is building a 'Chocolate City' or mastering the basics, they feel seen, supported, and capable.
What You'll Bring:
- A 'Heart-First' Approach: You understand that pupils learn best when they feel safe and valued.
- Inclusive Practice: You have a natural gift for adapting learning so every child, regardless of starting point, can access the magic of the lesson.
- Infectious Passion: You bring a drive for excellence that inspires children to want to do their best.
- Team Spirit: You're ready to dive into school life, from supporting PTA discos to collaborating on innovative workshops.
The Edith Moorhouse Difference:
- Professional Agency: We trust our teachers. You'll have the autonomy to bring your subjects to life in a way that sparks curiosity.
- Growth Mindset: Through the River Learning Trust, you'll have access to exceptional CPD and a network of peers across Oxfordshire and beyond.
- A Grounded Community: Located in the heart of Carterton, we have strong links with our local families and a staff team that genuinely looks out for one another.
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
