We are looking for a class teacher for a fixed period of the summer term 2026 in Key Stage 2.
The role will be based at IKB Primary School which opened in September 2020 to Reception pupils and has grown organically by a year group with every following year. The school has been built to meet the demands of the local community and the growing number of houses in the area.
Our curriculum incorporates carefully selected knowledge and skills that are brought to life in a way that is meaningful and exciting for children, promoting a life-long love of learning. It also provides the cultural capital that they need to be successful in learning as well as in their future lives.
The curriculum is organised in a way which enables children to revisit knowledge and build depth of knowledge and understanding as well as ensure they learn more and remember more. Through the way our curriculum is organised we help children to make meaning of the world, develop their vocabulary and broaden their horizons. Each subject and learning experience is content rich, with knowledge carefully selected and deliberately ambitious. Our curriculum is coherent and well planned, building on what has come before and will encourage learners to be curious about their learning. Our approach to supporting children who may need help to access the curriculum is through pre and post teaching, targeted interventions and adaptive teaching strategies. This makes sure those children have the knowledge and skills to succeed in accessing learning rather than having to be continuously catching up.
