About the Role

Senior manager needed for a good school!

MPS/UPS with TLR

Ashdown Primary School in Crowborough is looking for a class teacher to lead KS1 phase from September 2017. This position attracts a TLR Allowance of 2,640 per annum.

We are a two form entry split site school with an OfSTED rating of good.

We value every child for what they are and prepare them for everything they could be.

Our teachers say the following about working at our school:

- Extremely helpful subject leaders who provide clear plans to aid the class teacher in their planning. - Feel very supported by colleagues - Staff commitment is good - Cakes on Thursday - We work together to solve problems - Friendly welcoming atmosphere - Everybody gets along - Great children

We welcome applications from everyone, but particularly from teachers who have experience of Year 2 SATs and Year 1 phonic screening.

Applicants need to have teaching experience, but not necessarily in leadership, and be able to lead a team of teachers including being responsible for developing practice across the phase. They will be a member of the senior management team of the school, and in addition to a TLR payment, will receive a half day non-contact time (in additional to their PPA) for the fulfilment of phase duties.

Ashdown Primary School commits and expects its staff to commit to East Sussex County Council’s Equal Opportunities policies.

Ashdown Primary School also takes its safeguarding responsibilities extremely seriously and is committed to keeping children safe. This post is subject to satisfactory references, DBS checks, and questions will be asked at interview and of referees as to the suitability of candidates to work with children.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.  This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau).

Equal Opportunities

East Sussex County Council is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from all suitable candidates, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age. All applications are treated on merit.
