Required for September 2021
We are delighted to announce that our brand-new purpose-built nursery, along with its own outside area, will be opening in September 2021. Therefore, a wonderful opportunity to join our EYFS team, as a Nursery Teacher, has arisen.
At Canvey Island Infant School, we like to think our school is rather special, understandably, and we're not the only ones who think so. Ofsted has rated the school 'good' since Ofsted began and gave us a glowing report in 2019.
We pride ourselves on our imaginative curriculum and vibrant learning environment that reflects the very caring nature of the school. This is evident in the behaviour of our children who are kind, caring, thoughtful and who thoroughly enjoy coming to school. We are proud to call ourselves an 'inclusive' school, where everyone works hard to ensure that pupils, whatever their starting point, receive stimulating learning experiences. There is a tangible sense of team spirit that permeates the school and the enrichment activities encourage learning, which is evident in the children's personal development and achievement.
The successful candidate will:
- have a very good understanding of the current EYFS curriculum as well as a developing knowledge of the new EYFS framework which comes in to effect from September
- provide a creative, engaging learning experience for 3 & 4 year olds
- be an excellent classroom teacher who has high expectations of pupil achievement and behaviour
- be able to work effectively as a team member and have exceptional communication skills
- be committed to raising standards
We are able to offer:
- A welcoming school community
- A fantastic supportive team who are dedicated to making a difference
- Opportunities for personal and professional development
- A commitment to work/life balance including dedicated leadership time
- A strong ethos of, and commitment to, personal wellbeing
Visits to the school are warmly welcomed and strongly encouraged. However, due to current restrictions, these will need to be at the end of the school day.
Please contact the school for further information or to arrange a visit.
This application is subject to satisfactory references, DBS and medical checks.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
