At Barton Park, we serve a vibrant, wonderfully diverse community. Many of our pupils face significant socio-economic barriers—meaning our children deserve nothing less than exceptional practitioners from day one. We firmly believe in a proactive “keep up, not catch up” ethos. In Year 3, this means consolidating and securing the foundational reading, writing, and mathematical fluency pupils began in Key Stage 1, ensuring every child has the confidence and academic stamina required to thrive across Key Stage 2 and transform their life chances.
Our teaching partners are an essential part of our teaching team, supporting the teacher is delivering the highest quality education for all. We are seeking an ambitious, dedicated Teaching Partner who understands that Year 3 is a vital bridge in a child’s schooling—when pupils transition from learning to read to reading to learn, and from concrete calculations to rapid, flexible problem-solving. Whether you are an experienced practitioner or an aspiring educator seeking a stepping stone into teaching, we invest in our team. For candidates with ambition and drive, we actively support pathways into qualified teaching but are equally happy to receive applications from candidates who wish to consolidate and build their skills as a teaching partner.
Key Responsibilities & Role Impact
What We Are Looking For • A sound grasp of how foundational KS1 skills translate into KS2 mastery—particularly reading fluency, sentence construction, and number confidence.
Flexible Working: We value work-life balance while ensuring continuity for our pupils. This role is part-time, as it is term time only, 8:15-3:15. If you wish to discuss a job share application, or to discuss reduced or flexible hours, please make this clear in your application.
What we can offer
Our school is new and growing each year. Parents speak highly of the opportunities we provide the children and our wonderful new facilities. We have developed a forest school site locally used by EYFS and Year 1, and have an emergent orchard and wildlife area onsite, as well as two fabulous outdoor play grounds. Our 6 values are embedded in all we do and our children are welcoming and keen to learn. You would join a small, motivated and dedicated team of professionals, serving a newly opened school at the heart of a growing community.
Working in an ambitious, fast-growing school is deeply rewarding, but it is also demanding work. That is why staff wellbeing is never just lip service here—it is woven into our day-to-day culture. We are a tight-knit team where colleagues genuinely look out for, support, and lift one another up, backed by leadership that actively protects workload and listens.
We invest in our team and provide training, adapted to your needs and interests. Additionally, there is daily dedicated meeting time for teaching teams and a weekly teaching partner meeting with senior leadership to ensure good communication and opportunities to learn from each other. For ambitious practitioners looking to progress—including those aspiring to become qualified teachers—we actively support career pathways through the Trust (such as Teacher Apprenticeships and school-centred routes).
