At Ascot, we draw strongly on the principles of Choice Theory i.e. Internal Control Psychology / Intrinsic Motivation. We believe that every child is doing the best they can with the skills, knowledge and experiences they have available. Rather than relying on external control, we focus on building relationships, fostering responsibility, developing self-regulation and helping children understand the power of their choices.
As an Early Years Teacher, you will play a vital role in shaping the first years of school experience for our youngest learners. You will create engaging learning environments that balance:
Explicit teaching and intentional instruction
Play, exploration and inquiry
High expectations and high support
Academic growth and wellbeing
Structure and student agency
You will work alongside educators who are committed to continuous improvement and who genuinely enjoy learning together. If this resonates with your philosophy of education and the teacher you aspire to be, we invite you to consider becoming part of the Ascot community.
