Job Description

Reception Teacher / EYFS Lead (Preferred)
Ealing | Summer Term Start (After Easter) | Full-Time | Long-Term

A well-established 2-form entry primary school in Ealing is seeking a Reception Teacher to join their team from after Easter for the Summer Term, on a full-time, long-term basis. The school would welcome applications from experienced Reception teachers and would particularly value someone with EYFS leadership experience, although this is not essential.

This is a strong opportunity to join a supportive Early Years team in a school with clear systems, established routines and a consistent approach to teaching and learning.

About the School

The school is a 2-form entry mainstream primary with a stable leadership team and a collaborative staff culture. Early Years is well structured, with two Reception classes and shared planning across the phase. The school follows a clear teaching and learning framework and values consistency in classroom practice.

Key features include:

  • Two Reception classes with shared planning and moderation

  • An experienced EYFS team and supportive SLT

  • Clear behaviour systems embedded across the school

  • Well-resourced indoor and outdoor learning environments

  • Excellent transport links, including close proximity to the Elizabeth Line and local bus routes

  • A diverse intake and strong community engagement

The school is looking for someone who can integrate smoothly into their established pedagogy and maintain high standards of teaching and provision.

The Role

As Reception Teacher, you will:

  • Take full class responsibility for one Reception class

  • Deliver engaging, play-based and structured learning in line with the EYFS framework

  • Assess and track pupil progress effectively

  • Plan collaboratively with the parallel Reception teacher

  • Attend staff meetings and contribute to phase discussions

  • Support transition into Year 1 at the end of the academic year

If appointed as EYFS Lead (depending on experience), there may also be responsibility for supporting planning consistency, overseeing assessment moderation and contributing to Early Years development priorities.

Requirements

The school is looking for a teacher who:

  • Holds UK QTS

  • Has strong, recent experience teaching in EYFS

  • Understands early phonics development and early reading

  • Can adapt confidently to an established teaching and learning approach

  • Demonstrates strong classroom organisation and behaviour management

  • Can commit for the full Summer Term

This role would suit a confident Reception teacher who enjoys structured Early Years provision and working as part of a close-knit team.

If you are an experienced EYFS practitioner looking for a full-time Summer Term role in West Ealing, we would be keen to hear from you.
