The position is part-time (working hours to be confirmed once budget has been released).

Monday 7^th September 2020 – Friday 26^th March 2021

It expected that there will be a need for more Phonics intervention in Year 2 than usual and, in order to have the greatest impact on Reading attainment across school, the Head Teacher and Senior Leaders have selected to focus upon Early Reading. Currently, the school use Letters and Sounds.

The successful candidate will have recent experience of planning and delivering small group Phonics sessions and will be familiar with the curriculum for Reading in Early Years and KS1. They will be confident planning and teaching for learning and assessing pupils’ progress in these areas. In line with the Government Guidance, evidence must be provided for the impact achieved.  

Ofsted have graded the school ‘Good’ in all areas. Leadership and staff work effectively to provide a harmonious learning community. Staff are dedicated to meet the individual needs of pupils and their families, while encouraging pupils to reach their full potential academically.
