• Track and monitor pupil progress, using formative and summative assessment to inform planning and targeted support.

• Foster high standards of behavior, respect, and academic effort across the year group.

• Collaborate effectively with teaching assistants, subject leaders, and the wider KS2 team.

• Build positive, open relationships with parents, carers, and the broader school community.

What We Are Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) (ECTs and experienced teachers are welcome to apply).

• Proven experience or strong knowledge of teaching upper Key Stage 2 / Year 5 curriculum requirements.

• Passion for creative teaching methods that engage 9- and 10-year-old learners.

• High expectations for academic achievement, pupil growth, and behavior management.

• Strong communication, organizational, and team-working skills.

What We Offer

• Enthusiastic, polite, and motivated children who love to learn.

• A supportive leadership team committed to your career development and continuous professional growth (CPD).

• A collaborative, friendly staff team with well-resourced classrooms.
