Year 1 Class Teacher - Phonics & Early Development Focus

We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Year 1 Teacher to join a well-established KS1 team within a welcoming Gateshead primary school.

You will take responsibility for a class of 24 pupils with a broad range of abilities. Within the class, 6 pupils are currently working below age-related expectations in phonics and receive daily targeted intervention, supported by a full-time Level 2 Teaching Assistant. The class has established routines and responds well to structured teaching approaches.

The school places a strong emphasis on early reading, with a consistent whole-school phonics scheme (Little Wandle) embedded across EYFS and KS1. You will be expected to deliver high-quality daily phonics sessions and adapt teaching to ensure all pupils make sustained progress.
