Year 4 Class Teacher

A Primary school in Leeds are looking for a teacher with experience in KS2 to take their Year 4 class until Christmas 2020. If you have KS2 experience and are looking for a full-time role from September onwards then see the details of the role below.

What is the role?

The school need a teacher to take the class from September until the Christmas holidays as a long-standing member of staff announced that they will be leaving the school in July 2020. The school want someone to take the class until the Christmas holidays, as at this point they will decide whether to advertise permanently for the position or offer a contract to the selected candidate. So, if you are looking for a permanent class teacher role then this is a fantastic opportunity. The role is full-time with relevant PPA time allocated as per any class teacher role. The school are more than happy to consider NQTs for this position, as they have had great success in the past in nurturing young teachers, and are more concerned with the teaching style rather than a wealth of experience.

What is the class like?

The behaviour at the school is on the whole good, and the children are polite and conscientious. In this particular Year 4 class there are some children who at times exhibit challenging behaviour which can disrupt and interrupt the learning of the rest of the class. The school would like someone who can be firm but fair with these children, as this is the most effective means of keeping them on task, so the school needs someone who is confident in their behaviour management. There is a dedicated class TA to assist in this regard, so there is plenty of support. There is also an autistic child in the class who has a dedicated 1-2-1 support assistant to care for their more specific needs and take out of the class for more focussed work when necessary. The school are encouraging of the child to join in as much full class activity as possible, so experience engaging with and planning in line with EHCPs to ensure this, as well as with the SENCO, would be well through of by school.

What is the school like?

The school is a 3-form entry primary school in LS8 that was last rated by Ofsted as GOOD in 2017. The school has consistently achieved at this level over many years and behaviour at the school has always been pleasant and under control. The Head has been at the school for the last 4 years, so knows the school well and has established a good and enthusiastic staff team. The school is very easily accessible by car or bus, and there are plenty of parking spaces available.
