Outdoor Play and Learning Coordinator

Court Lane Junior School is a vibrant, inspiring academy of 480 pupils, organised into 4-year groups from Year 3 to Year 6. Our values 'Believe, Inspire, Achieve' are woven through all that we do here, ensuring that children have exceptional and enjoyable experiences during their time in our school.

This is a brand-new role for the school and is an exciting opportunity for the right person to lead the school Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) team during the lunch period to ensure all children have access to exciting play opportunities and support the Forest School Leader two afternoons a week to facilitate outdoor learning.

We are looking for an individual who is enthusiastic and has the ability to encourage children to engage in games and activities that promote physical activity and to support the children in learning to play together.  You will also need to have a nurturing nature to support and develop the wellbeing of the children and be adaptable and sensitive when dealing with challenging situations.

The school is proud to be part of the University of Chichester Multi-Academy Trust, which would provide you with access to additional opportunities and benefits.  All academies within the Trust have a unique identity, but a shared belief in creating a positive and enriching environment, where staff feel valued.
