All children at our school access a broad, challenging and engaging curriculum, encouraging learning through well established, research-based quality first teaching.</p>\n<p>This is a very exciting time to join us. In November 2022, we joined King’s Group Academies (KGA). We<br>now benefit from opportunities this is creating for sharing ideas and approaches across schools.</p>\n<p>At our last OFSTED inspection (November 2021), we were rated as ‘Good’ in all areas and the inspection team noted that:</p>\n<p>“Pupils enjoy coming to their happy and inclusive school. There is a strong ethos of mutual respect, courtesy and care for others.”</p>\n<p>“Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They value the educational opportunities that they receive and want to succeed. Knowing their teachers have high expectations and want the very best for them encourages pupils to take pride in their work. Pupils confidently ask for help when they need it.” </p>\n<p>We aspire to be rated ‘Outstanding’, driven by a core belief that all of our students deserve nothing but the best possible teaching and support in order to be happy, healthy and successful. We aim to deliver the best quality teaching and learning in a school where staff and students have respect for , and pride in themselves, their school and their community.</p>\n<p>If you feel you have the necessary skills, mindset and determination to join us on our journey towards<br>‘outstanding,’ we would very much like to hear from you. Visits to the school prior to application are warmly welcomed.</p>\n<p><strong>Closing date: 9.00am, Friday 31 January 2025</strong><br><br><strong>Applications may be considered upon receipt so you are encouraged to apply at the earliest</strong><br><strong>possible opportunity.</strong></p>\n<p>We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. </p>\n<p>An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be undertaken.</p>\n<p>We reserve the right to carry out an online search as part of our due diligence obligations on shortlisted candidates and candidates will be provided the opportunity to address any issues or <em>concerns that may come up during the search at interview. </em></p>","shortDescription":"","salaryDescription":"MPS/UPS (Fringe) + TLR 1C £9,272 per annum, pro rata","publishDate":"2025-01-20T10:15:00.000Z","expirationDate":"2025-01-31T09:00:00.000Z","logoUri":"https://www.lgjobs.com/logos/logos/9bfba553-dfa1-4d88-bb28-0c31a5ee6d4a.jpg","score":1,"featured":false,"enhanced":false}],"totalResults":102,"page":1,"pageSize":20,"facets":{"WorkingPatterns":{"1":70,"2":33,"3":20,"4":4,"6":4,"7":15},"JobTypes":{"administration":6,"caretaking":2,"childcare":4,"communications":1,"community":4,"customer service":2,"education":24,"environmental":2,"housing":6,"marketing":1,"museum":1,"planning":6,"social care":16,"social work":7,"surveyors":1,"teaching":29,"transport":1,"waste management":1},"EmployerType":{"charity/voluntary":1,"education":29,"local government":72},"PublishDate":{"1":6,"2":25,"3":38,"4":64,"5":102},"ContractType":{"1":74,"2":8,"3":7,"5":13},"LocationType":{"2":21,"3":81}},"randomNumber":0,"noOfFeaturedJobs":2,"bounds":[{"lat":51.493134,"lng":-1.063601},{"lat":51.40978,"lng":-1.063601},{"lat":51.40978,"lng":-0.92849433},{"lat":51.493134,"lng":-0.92849433},{"lat":51.493134,"lng":-1.063601}],"error":null}},"dataUpdateCount":1,"dataUpdatedAt":1737574135245,"error":null,"errorUpdateCount":0,"errorUpdatedAt":0,"fetchFailureCount":0,"fetchFailureReason":null,"fetchMeta":null,"isInvalidated":false,"status":"success","fetchStatus":"idle"},"queryKey":["jobs",null,"reading",null,null,{},{"contractType":[],"workingPatterns":[],"locationType":[],"jobTypes":[],"employerType":[],"datePosted":5},2,1],"queryHash":"[\"jobs\",null,\"reading\",null,null,{},{\"contractType\":[],\"datePosted\":5,\"employerType\":[],\"jobTypes\":[],\"locationType\":[],\"workingPatterns\":[]},2,1]"},{"state":{"data":null,"dataUpdateCount":1,"dataUpdatedAt":1737574135028,"error":null,"errorUpdateCount":0,"errorUpdatedAt":0,"fetchFailureCount":0,"fetchFailureReason":null,"fetchMeta":null,"isInvalidated":false,"status":"success","fetchStatus":"idle"},"queryKey":["jobTypesAutocomplete",null],"queryHash":"[\"jobTypesAutocomplete\",null]"}]}
