  • Ability to motivate, inspire and engage learners of all abilities.

  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.

  • A commitment to creating a positive and inclusive learning environment.

  • Experience in KS1 or KS2, or within a faith-based school setting, would be an advantage, but is not essential.
