Classroom Co-ordinator
(Fixed term contract, September 2026 to July 2027)
Silcoates is a successful independent co-educational day school with a long and proud history. We achieve excellent academic results and offer a broad and stimulating variety of co-curricular activities. We are seeking to appoint a qualified and experienced Classroom Co-ordinator in our Junior School. The school is set in 50 acres of grounds in Wrenthorpe, near Wakefield, within easy reach of the M1 and M62, offering an all-through, fully co-educational day school experience for children from 3 to 18.
This is an excellent opportunity for a suitably qualified and experienced practitioner, complementing our teaching staff by taking responsibility for agreed learning activities under a system of supervision in order to support and develop our pupils. This may involve planning, preparing and delivering learning activities for individuals/groups of pupils and assessing, recording, and reporting on pupils’ achievement, progress and development. Although you will be largely assigned to one year group, flexibility to work across year groups is required.
The successful applicant will hold a Level 3 Childcare Qualification, or be able to demonstrate equivalent experience, and be expected to play a full part in the co-curricular life of the school. EYFS experience could be helpful. You should be able to demonstrate familiarity with appropriate learning strategies, for example in numeracy and literacy, and be able to develop good relationships with our children and their parents.
The role is for a fixed term period from 1st September 2027 to 9th July 2027. Hours of work are 8.30am to 2.30pm or 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.
