Job Description
Head of Early Years (HEYFS)

Required: January / Easter 2026
Reporting to: Head of Junior School
Hours: Full Time
Closing date: Tuesday 4th November, 12:00 noon
Interview date: Wednesday 12th November

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an inspiring and experienced Early Years leader to shape the very first stage of our
pupils’ educational journey. As Head of Early Years (HEYFS), you will lead a dynamic, creative and nurturing team at
Little King’s, ensuring that every child experiences a joyful, ambitious and carefully tailored start to school life. With
the autonomy to innovate across the Early Years curriculum and a close connection to the wider school community,
this  role  offers  the  chance  to make  a  profound  and  lasting  impact  on  children’s  learning,  development  and  love  of
discovery.

The Head of Early Years at King's is a key leadership role within the Junior School Leadership Team (JSLT), responsible
for the strategic, academic, and pastoral oversight of Little King's, and plays a critical role in pupil recruitment. This
role reflects the latest UK EYFS Framework, emphasising inclusive, high-quality early education and smooth transitions
into Reception and Year 1.

The School

The King’s School is one of the dozen oldest schools in the country and has a proud heritage dating back to at least
1087, with a re-foundation in 1541. King’s is the Cathedral School in the city of Gloucester, whilst the surrounding
county is home to many excellent grammar and state schools, as well as other independent schools. King’s is held in
high regard amidst this competitive area; our academic, co-curricular and pastoral attainment is second to none. As a
result, the last three ISI reports for King’s have all been classified as ‘excellent’ in every area. Local media brand SoGlos
has awarded King’s the title of ‘Independent School of the Year’ or ‘Highly Commended’ in every one of the last six
years – a feat unmatched by any other local independent school – most recently winning the title in May 2025. Despite
the  multiple  national-scale  challenges  of  recent  years,  King’s  has  seen  its  pupil  roll  growing  steadily  and  parental
satisfaction scoring very highly indeed. With careful investment in the campus and facilities, as well as a continuous
focus on improving teaching and learning and developing our outstanding pastoral care, King’s is now seen as a dynamic,
forward-thinking and impressive place to study and to work.

The Department

Little King’s is a vibrant, warm, and purposeful Early Years setting nestled within The King’s School, Gloucester. From
ages three to five, the department is driven by a philosophy that learning should be joyful, stimulating and rooted in
strong, supportive relationships. Staff at Little King’s offer an individualised curriculum, responsive to children’s needs
and interests, where early learning goals are enriched by outdoor opportunities – Forest School, trips to places like
Crickley Hill and the Forest of Dean, and use of the School’s own secret garden and pond.

Parents are partners in the journey: through excellent home-school links, access to online learning journals, and regular,
honest communication, the child’s development is shared and celebrated together. The environment itself feels part
of something bigger – Little King’s is physically within the Junior School, fostering a strong sense of belonging to the
wider King’s community and aiding smooth transitions as children grow.

In Little King’s you’ll find a team of experienced, caring professionals who value resilience, confidence, independence
and  academic,  emotional,  and  social  growth  equally.  The  culture  is  one  of  high  expectations,  mutual  support,  and
creative freedom. If you’re seeking a department you can lead with vision, collaborate with passionate colleagues, and
help lay foundations for lifelong learning, Little King’s offers just that.

Main Duties

Teaching, Learning and Curriculum:

•

Lead the planning, delivery, and continuous development of the EYFS curriculum in alignment with the latest
UK EYFS Framework;

Perform classroom teacher duties for the Reception year group;

• Champion Early Literacy and Numeracy development through targeted interventions and enrichment activities;
