What can a Reception teacher expect in Wisbech?

Wisbech has infant schools such as Clarkson Infants and The Nene Infant & Nursery School, as well as all-through primaries in the town and villages. Many have nursery classes or pre-schools on site, so Reception teachers often work closely with early years colleagues.

Many children start Reception in Wisbech speaking a language other than English at home. Early language, communication and phonics are a big focus, and teachers who use songs, stories and lots of talk make a real difference.

Reception teachers complete the Reception Baseline Assessment in the first weeks of term and the EYFS Profile at the end of the year.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and teach a play-based EYFS curriculum indoors and outdoors
• Teach early reading and phonics using the school's scheme
• Develop early language for children learning English
• Observe and assess children's progress
• Lead early years practitioners and teaching assistants
• Build strong relationships with families

Who we're looking for

• Qualified teachers (QTS) with EYFS experience
• Primary teachers who enjoy working with young children
• Early Career Teachers looking for their first Reception post
