We are looking to recruit three Cover Teachers into our Primary School to start in January 2020. These roles will cover all age groups, EYFS to Year 6. We are ideally seeking applicants that offer a specific specialism and passion in an area such as PE, Art, MFL or Computing. You will spend approximately half the week teaching during teacher PPA slots. You will be required to work with Year Leaders to plan appropriate lessons, give feedback on these subjects and mark where required. As a three form entry school these sessions will run as a carousel so that the staff are released to have joint planning time. As part of this role you will be responsible for running an after school club up to two nights per week. The remainder of your week will be spent covering middle leader and senior leader management time. You will have a weekly timetable.
These positions are ideally suited to prospective future teachers, looking to gain experience before undertaking further training to become qualified teachers. As part of the United Learning Trust there are internal training schemes that may be appropriate to support potential candidates in becoming fully qualified teachers in the future. We are ideally looking for candidates with appropriate degree level qualifications to match any specialisms they may be able to offer.
We are looking to appoint three staff with the following attributes:
• highly motivated to support children with special needs to make progress and fulfil their potential.
• experience of classroom support.
• a wider interest in working with children, young people and their parents/carers both inside and outside the classroom.
• the ability to contribute positively to the overall programme of learning for each student to ensure progression – pupil outcomes are a key focus.
• willing to plan, deliver and assess high quality lessons that inspire wonder and intellectual curiosity.
• Enjoys being part of a hard working and supportive staff team.
You should have:
• GCSE Maths and English grade C or above
• a high degree of initiative and sound judgement when working with children and young people
• a focus on learning outcomes for pupils and pupil progression
You may have:
• A teaching qualification.
• A degree in a relevant subject area.
• Additional qualifications that make you suitable for this role.
• Teaching experience in a primary school.
About Avonwood Primary School
Avonwood Primary School benefits from working as part of the United Learning Bournemouth and Poole cluster. We work as a team and achieve more, by sharing, than any single school could.
We are a group of schools based in East Bournemouth catering for students age 4-18 across our four schools. Avonwood Primary School is a standalone primary facility based next door to our Avonbourne Boys’ and Girls’ Academies where students share a campus and are taught in predominantly single sex classes. When students reach our United Sixth Form, mixed classes are reinstated. We believe this diamond model of education recognises that as boys and girls reach their teenage years, they approach their learning differently allowing us to get the most out of every student.
Avonwood Primary School opened its doors for the first time in September 2014, when we welcomed two classes of Foundation Stage children to our trust family.
In September 2015 we moved in to our purpose built brand new school.
Avonwood has a short but impressive history with excellent facilities. We currently have classes up to Year 5 and by September 2020 we will be complete up to Year 6.
Avonwood is an inclusive school that holds both standards and the development of the ‘whole child’ at its heart. Our wish is for every one of our youngsters to not only succeed at school but to have fun in doing so. We wish to help create young people that are kind, tolerant, trustworthy and responsible citizens, capable of making a difference to the world in which they live.
Avonwood is an oversubscribed, highly popular school with an already impressive reputation. Our ambition is to be the school of choice for local families, providing an excellent education by inspiring wonder and intellectual curiosity through a genuine love of learning.
Avonwood Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, governors and volunteers to share the same commitment. Please note Avonwood Primary School does not accept CV's in place of application forms.
