Partnering closely with your parallel Year 5 teacher for joint planning and resource development.

Differentiating learning to support children of all abilities, including EAL and SEND pupils.

Supporting children’s emotional well-being and personal growth alongside their academic progress.

Using positive behavior management techniques to maintain an encouraging classroom environment.

Assessing pupil progress and using data to target interventions effectively.

Building strong, collaborative relationships with families, colleagues, and the wider Croydon community.

Participating in whole-school CPD, staff meetings, and extracurricular events.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a teacher who brings energy, cultural awareness, and strong Upper KS2 practice to the team:

Qualifications: Holds Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and has experience delivering the UK National Curriculum (ECTs and experienced teachers welcome).

Key Stage Expertise: Strong understanding of Year 5/KS2 expectations, assessment, and progression.

Inclusive Mindset: Passionate about inclusive teaching and skilled at supporting diverse learners.

Collaborative Spirit: Eager to work seamlessly alongside a parallel teacher in a 2-form entry environment.
