Dear Hiring Manager,
Reeson Education's ECT Primary Teacher vacancy at a KS2 school in Haringey is precisely the role I have been working towards. Having completed my initial teacher training with a focus on Key Stage 2, I am confident in my ability to plan and deliver engaging lessons, manage classroom behaviour effectively, and contribute to year group teams from day one. I hold QTS and an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service.
My background in KS2 teaching placements has given me hands-on experience of formative assessment and tracking pupil progress across mixed-attainment classes of up to 30 pupils. During my final placement, I planned and delivered a six-week unit in English that saw measurable improvements in writing outcomes for 80% of the cohort. I am comfortable receiving and acting on mentor feedback, and I welcome the trial-day process as an opportunity to demonstrate my teaching style in context.
