Early Years Apprenticeship

Advance Learning Partnership (ALP) is a child-centred, forward-thinking organisation where people truly matter. If you’re looking for a role in a workplace that values collaboration, innovation, and professional growth, ALP offers the perfect opportunity to thrive.

At Bowburn Primary Academy, we believe that every child can make progress and succeed, and we recognise that all pupils are entitled to a high-quality education that enables them to achieve their full potential. This vision shapes everything we do and underpins our identity as a school. Our values—respect, kindness, empathy, grit, self-control and integrity—form the foundations for lifelong learning, personal growth, independence and responsible citizenship. 

As an EYFS apprentice, you would not only be a valued member of the EYFS team, but also a key contributor in ensuring that children receive the very best start to their education. As part of the team, you would be fully integrated into daily practice: attending training, contributing to meetings, working directly with the children and supporting the preparation of the learning environment and resources. You would be supported by experienced staff and encouraged to make the most of your time in school.
