Teacher - Year 3

At King Edwin Primary School, we pride ourselves on a culture of consistency, excellence, and shared ambition. We are currently looking for an outstanding practitioner to join us for three days a week to cover a maternity leave in Year 3. 

In Year 3, our children transition into Key Stage 2, a pivotal moment in their academic journey. We aren't looking for a "gap-filler." We are looking for an exceptional teacher who will step into this role with the energy and professional rigor required to be a true #KingEdwinner. You will work closely with your job-share partner to ensure a seamless, high-quality experience for our pupils. 

The Profile of Excellence :

We are seeking a teacher who can demonstrate:

• Seamless collaboration: You are a great communicator who understands how to thrive in a job-share, 
  ensuring that planning, assessment, and pastoral care are perfectly synchronised. 
• Pedagogical precision: You have a deep understanding of the KS1 and KS2 curriculum and the ability to 
  deliver lessons that are both challenging and highly engaging.
• High-impact teaching: You possess the skills to quickly build strong relationships with Year 3 pupils, 
  maintaining high expectations for behaviour and academic outcomes from day one. 
• A commitment to quality: You take pride in all that you do. You understand that "good enough" isn't 
  the KEPS way; we strive for excellence in all areas of school life. 
• Professional character: You are resilient, reflective, and ready to contribute to the wider life of our 
  school community during your time with us. 

Why Join the KEPS Team? 

•  A supportive partnership: You will be paired with an experienced colleague in a school that values 
  teamwork and professional dialogue. 
• Our pupils: Our Year 3 children are at a wonderful age - ready to take on more independence and eager 
  to be inspired by a creative and dedicated teacher. 
• The KEPS atmosphere: Even in a part-time capacity, you will be a fully integrated member of our 
  "awesome team." We don't do "temporary" mindsets; you will be a valued #KingEdwinner from the 
  moment you arrive. There may even be an opening and an opportunity to stay beyond the fixed contract. 

How to Apply:

If you are an exceptional teacher looking for a high-quality part-time role in a school that refuses to settle for second best, we want to hear from you.

Please submit your application form, along with a formal letter of application to the School Office (office@kingedwin.notts.sch.uk). In your letter, please outline your experience in detail and explain how you will ensure a seamless, exceptional learning journey for our Year 3 pupils during this maternity cover.
