Morgans is a ‘Good School’, Ofsted December 2023.    A clear vision, "Nuturing Life-Long Learning" and a positive ethos and community spirit is promoted by all of the adults around the school.  Our core purpose is to develop children into effective learners who love to learn and are committed to their learning and to provide every child with an outstanding education.

We wish to appoint an enthusiastic, effective and inspiring Higher Level Early Years Practitioner who is passionate about child development and eager to make a difference to every child.

The hours are 8:30am to 3:30pm, Monday to Friday, term time only, (32.5 hours per week). The successful applicant would be expected to lead small group and whole class activities and assist with planning and assessing children’s learning as part of the EYFS team. As with all school support roles, there may also be times when the applicant works one to one with a child with special educational needs.
