Inspiring Primary Class Teacher – Creative & Inclusive in Waterlooville

Woodcroft Primary School is a very special place to work. A school that nurtures its pupils and ensures they develop excellent values for their lives ahead. A clear curriculum and high expectations ensure that children receive a school experience that matches their needs and supports them in their next steps of learning.

In the classroom your energy, enthusiasm and skill will inspire pupils and create a learning environment that encourages children’s curiosity and supports them to make rapid progress across the curriculum. No one day is the same as another. Broadening the curriculum for our children and giving them unique experiences is a key aspect of our school week. Our teachers incorporate visitors, trips and outdoor learning into their planning to ensure that pupils develop a sense of the world around them. We need a teacher who can do this, whilst ensuring all groups of pupils make sustained and rapid progress.

If you have a sense of humour, are flexible in your approach and want to work in a supportive team environment then we are the school for you. The personal development of pupils is essential in our school and we pride ourselves on every adult nurturing our young people to ensure they prosper. However, we also support our staff to develop their own careers and skills. We are a school that believes in developing its staff through NPQs, internal and external courses and peer coaching. Our dedicated team is small, but the ambitions for our pupils are high, as we work together to remove their barriers for learning and engage their curiosity.

If you would like to discover more and explore this opportunity further then please arrange a school visit as soon as possible.
