About the school and role
Reading, rich vocabulary and purposeful discussion sit at the heart of this primary school’s approach. Colleagues share ideas for helping pupils explain their thinking and become increasingly independent learners.
This full-time primary class teacher opportunity in Barnet is open to ECTs with an interest in EYFS, KS1 or KS2. One phase and year group will be agreed according to the vacancy, your training and your strengths. You will have the opportunity to build relationships with a consistent class and see learning develop over time.

A supported start
Develop your practice through conversations with experienced colleagues, shared planning and feedback focused on achievable next steps.
