Dear Candidate,

Thank you for your interest in applying for the post of temporary Early Years Teacher at Roscoe Primary School. We are a vibrant school with a strong, positive, child-centred ethos, and we are committed to developing our school through the recruitment of dynamic and inspirational staff.

Our school has recently been nominated for NAACE Impact Award for Primary ICT and we are the Makewaves Primary Site of the year. We also received the Merseyside Educate Awards for Communication and WOW Recognition. We are very proud of these achievements. We expect all staff to be innovative and creative in the use of ICT – and mobile technology in particular - to enhance learning. You can view our Makewaves site to find out more about our on-line learning: https://www.makewav.es/roscoeschools or follow us on Twitter @Roscoe_Primary

We would like our new Early Years teacher to be innovative and dynamic. We want someone who will offer our children new and exciting challenges. Please read the Person Specification carefully and only consider applying if you can offer all the essential criteria we are looking for. If you can, then we look forward to hearing from you!

We are an inclusive school. At Roscoe, everyone is valued and diversity is seen as a rich resource to enhance and support the learning of all. We strive to maximise the learning and participation of all pupils within the school and its locality. We have developed inclusive values which are shared between all staff, pupils, governors, parents/carers and the wider community, in a secure, accepting, collaborative and stimulating environment. We expect all staff to support our inclusive ethos.

The selection process for this post will comprise a long list. Candidates on the long list will be invited to deliver a lesson and to undertake some tasks. Those long listed applicants who deliver a good or better lesson and who complete the tasks successfully will then be invited to attend a formal interview.

You are encouraged to visit the school before you apply and there are opportunities to do so on Thursday 11th June and Thursday 18th June, both at 4 pm. Please telephone the school office to make an appointment.

You must include your most recent employer as one of your referees. This is a legal requirement.

I look forward to receiving your application.
