What can a KS1 teacher expect in Peterborough?
Key Stage 1 is where children become readers, writers and mathematicians. Peterborough schools put strong emphasis on systematic phonics, early reading and number fluency, with the Phonics Screening Check in Year 1.
Peterborough has many infant schools as well as all-through primaries, so KS1 teachers may work in schools focused entirely on the early years and KS1. Classes are often diverse, with many children learning English as an additional language, so visual, practical and talk-rich teaching works well.
KS1 teachers help children move from play-based learning in Reception towards more structured lessons, while keeping curiosity and creativity at the centre. Topics such as Peterborough Cathedral, local parks and the seasons make learning real for young children.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and teach engaging lessons across the KS1 curriculum
- Teach daily phonics and early reading
- Build number sense and early calculation skills
- Prepare children for the Phonics Screening Check
- Support children learning English as an additional language
- Work closely with teaching assistants, parents and the SENCO
Who we're looking for
- Qualified primary teachers (QTS or QTLS)
- Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
- Experienced teachers returning to the profession or looking for flexible supply work
- Overseas-trained teachers with the right to work in the UK
- Reception teachers looking to move into KS1
