This post could suit an NQT or experienced professional with EYFS, KS1, KS2 or Secondary experience; we want the right people, not just people with the right experience.

Want to challenge and extend your understanding of what good teaching is? Want to use what we know from Cognitive Psychology about how the brain works to drive your practice? Want to be part of improving the outcomes for a fabulous group of motivated pupils?

We are looking for someone to join our teaching team and be part of what we are trying to build. You will be looking to take on a new challenge and will strive to develop a deeper understanding of cognitive psychology and how we can develop classroom practice to reflect this. You will not be afraid to do things that may challenge what you thought was good teaching and will be fully supported in implementing what is required.

• We value feedback, NOT MARKING

• You can be part of building an incredible, knowledge-based curriculum: working with external subject experts to ensure that substantive and disciplinary knowledge are built upon each year and that pupils remember, long-term, what they’ve been taught
• We have access to excellent partnerships, who will support and challenge your thinking
• You will receive highly-focused, high-quality Professional Development during which you will have a chance to read and discuss academic research; hear from experts in their field and practise techniques and theories within a supportive and caring team.
