Nursery - Early Years Practitioner (Level 3)

We are seeking a Nursery - Early Years Practitioner (Level 3) to join our team at Tadworth Primary School.

About Tadworth Primary School

At Tadworth, we are ambitious for every child. Our curriculum is designed to inspire, motivate and bring learning to life across academic, creative, personal and physical development - ensuring that pupils not only achieve well, but genuinely enjoy their time at school and leave ready for the next stage of their education.

During their time with us, children experience far more than the classroom alone. A rich programme of trips, visits and clubs gives pupils regular opportunities to explore and extend their learning, while a strong commitment to the arts means that performance, creativity and self-expression are woven into school life. Reading sits at the heart of this, supported by a well-used library and a wide range of high-quality texts in every classroom. Sport, wellbeing and a genuine sense of community complete the picture - from inter-school competitions to a thriving Parent Teacher Association and a school-wide culture of giving back, with each year group supporting a designated charity.

At Tadworth, you will join a staff team that cares deeply about what they do, within a school community built on partnership and shared purpose.
