Form Tutor

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed form tutor to join our team in September. It will be initially based in EYFS/KS1. We therefore especially welcome candidates who have expertise in this phase and a play-based learning curriculum.

We welcome applications from both ECTs and experienced teachers. If an ECT were appointed to the post, structured support and guidance (meeting statutory requirements) would be provided to ensure progression towards the successful completion of his/her training or induction period. There may be the possibility of a phase lead role depending on experience.

We are proud of the career development opportunities that we offer to staff and have significant experience developing middle and senior leaders. Our bespoke leadership development training, using expertise from both the Junior and Senior School, has successfully prepared staff to deliver CPD sessions, monitor teaching and learning and analyse data. Teachers receive a generous allocation of protected time for planning, preparation and assessment well in excess of equivalent posts in the state sector, including weekly protected time for teachers to plan with colleagues working in their year group. The school calendar is carefully planned with an eye to staff workload and welfare.

Teachers appointed to posts are expected to maintain high professional standards and contribute to the extra-curricular life of the school. Those who join Colfe’s can expect to become part of a caring, purposeful and committed community.
