The Vacancy
Norwich Steiner School requires a full-time Kindergarten teacher to lead and run its Orchard Kindergarten. This is a permanent post, subject to a probationary period and is available from September 2025, but the post could start in the summer term to allow for some overlap.
The kindergarten teacher has primary responsibility for the overall welfare of the children in their care. This includes supporting the creative play, artistic and domestic activities; the celebration of festivals within kindergarten; creative discipline and working with parents.
MAIN DUTIES OF THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER:
• To fully implement the kindergarten curriculum indicated for Steiner Waldorf early childhood
• To ensure the overall quality and standards of the early years provision are in line with the principles and requirements of the ‘Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage (EYFS)’.
• To provide a differentiated curriculum for the 5 and 6-year-olds with planned, structured activities designed to continue to support their development and to extend their learning and skills, taking into account their individual needs and interests (including those with an EHCP or who are identified as having SEND).
• Be fully familiar with all the key policies and procedures as well as statutory obligations, particularly those relating to Health and Safety, risk assessments and Safeguarding (child protection).
• Take overall responsibility for preparation and planning, and in keeping parents informed as appropriate. All associated paperwork should be kept up to date, filed and made available for periodic review and inspection. These documents should include individual learning plans plus summative and formative assessments for each child within the kindergarten.
• Keep appropriate individual child observations/assessments, and undertake (with colleagues) individual child studies both routinely and when required for particular children.
• Provide reports for the end of each term for all the children within the kindergarten, including any statutory requirements regarding EYFS reports.
• Ensure the care and beauty of the classroom according to the Steiner Early Years curriculum; working with the seasons, sensory protection of the young child and full understanding of the Health & Safety regulations of the school.
• Conduct home visits to each family in their Kindergarten if appropriate, and as and when required.
• Host group parents’ evenings at least once a term to provide an insight, through activities and talks, of their child’s education and the underlying pedagogy.
• Keep families informed regarding child protection issues and other matters, including internet safety, at meetings and through general communication.
• Ensure individual parent meetings are held at least once a year to share and discuss each child’s progress and development with their parents. Meetings help ensure that there are no surprises in the child’s report.
• Meet with any other early years staff once a week, to share planning, assessment, kindergarten pedagogy, child studies and administrative work.
• Attend weekly faculty meetings, and at least one lower school meeting per half term, in order to ensure continuity and provide a bridge with and other relevant inset/training days.
• Appropriately involve and share with the kindergarten assistant any planning or information to enable them to perform their duties to best effect for the children. If there are days when numbers are low and/or if there are only school age children present, it is possible that a Kindergarten assistant may be assigned other priority duties in support of the work of the wider organisation.
• Complete relevant training Safeguarding, Paediatric First Aid and Food Hygiene and ensure these should be kept up-to-date.
• Administer appropriate First Aid to the children when required and ensure all accidents and incidents (whether or not they require First Aid) are logged immediately and followed through with the parents. This also includes the recording and care of previous injuries that happen outside of the kindergarten setting
• Follow the Staff Code of Conduct and Safer Working Practice at all times.
• Liaise with other agencies including the Norfolk County Council Early Years and Childcare, Waldorf UK, SWEYG (Steiner Waldorf Early Years Group), LEA Safeguarding, OFSTED and the DfE.
