We are seeking an enthusiastic and nurturing Foundation Stage Practitioner to join the Early Years team at Woolacombe School.
This is an exciting opportunity to help provide a stimulating, caring and engaging environment in which our youngest children can learn, grow and develop. The successful candidate will work closely with colleagues to deliver high-quality early years provision that inspires curiosity, independence and a lifelong love of learning.
This is an especially exciting time to join us. Woolacombe School will shortly be transferring to The Academies for Character and Excellence (ACE), and this recruitment is being undertaken in partnership with Alumnis. This transition brings a wealth of opportunity. ACE is deeply committed to providing an exceptional education for every child, underpinned by a strong belief in equity, collaboration and uncompromising excellence. Their approach extends beyond the classroom, placing a real emphasis on character education, personal development and ensuring that every pupil and every member of staff is supported to thrive.
ACE is passionate about delivering a rich and innovative curriculum and fostering a highly collaborative way of working. Through its strong network of schools and professional communities, staff are given genuine opportunities to develop, share expertise and grow within their profession. A commitment to equity ensures that every child, and every member of staff, has access to meaningful opportunities, with a clear focus on tackling disadvantage and providing high-quality professional learning.
We are looking for someone who has experience within an Early Years setting, who understands the importance of learning through play, and who can create warm and supportive relationships with children and families. The successful candidate will share our belief that every child deserves the very best start to their educational journey.
In return, we can offer a friendly and dedicated team, enthusiastic children and a welcoming school community that places children's wellbeing and development at its heart. Through ACE, you will have access to excellent professional development opportunities and the support of a wider network of colleagues committed to achieving excellence for every child.
