• Be able to build a warm, respectful ethos with pupils, where every child’s efforts and achievements are valued, and take pride in these.
• Be a good teacher who is reflective and always striving to improve and move forward.
• Be enthusiastic, approachable and have an open and positive attitude.

• An experienced, friendly and supportive staff team.
• A positive and caring ethos with children at the heart of all we do.
• Enthusiastic children who enjoy learning.
Kennet Valley Primary School is an effective and inclusive school, with high expectations of all its children. We have a strong staff team, good relationships with parents and the local community, extremely supportive governors, and positive links with our Local Authority.
There are good facilities as well as extensive grounds that provide a wide range of outdoor learning opportunities. This is a great opportunity for a hard-working individual, who is committed to the progress of every child.
Our Resource Base caters for small classes of children with Autism/Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs. Teachers will work closely with the Unit Lead whilst still being part of the Kennet Valley Team. Applications are welcome from teachers already in special education as well as teachers in a mainstream setting with a desire to support children with complex SEND and an understanding of what this involves.
Visits to the school are warmly welcomed, at the end of the day, by appointment. Please contact the office to make an appointment or request an application pack.
