Job Description
The Hundred of Hoo Primary Academy has an exciting opportunity to appoint a talented and inspirational Class Teacher, starting from September 2024.
This is a truly rare opportunity as our successful Class Teacher will be joining an all-through academy during a period of growth and expansion and will be able to engage in unique, cross-phase curriculum delivery where secondary specialists teach specific lessons to give our pupils the highest quality educational opportunities. If you are seeking career development this is the perfect position as we provide excellent CPD opportunities and promote progression with the academy.
From September 2023, we expanded our academy from one to two-form entry and are excitedly looking for someone to help develop our learning space, outdoor learning space and strengthen our strong team to provide the absolute best learning opportunities for our children.
This is a full-time, permanent position offering MPS/UPS commensurate with experience. For any enquiries, please contact Rachel Cribben, Recruitment Advisor, at 01634 412 258 or rachel.cribben@latrust.org.uk. We can be receptive to candidates who have experience in either KS1 or KS2.
Working at The Hundred of Hoo Primary Academy: Do you want to work in a school where staff say, “I feel like we all have a good connection within the workplace and we all work well together.” and “Connecting with people allows you to share ideas, support each other and makes the workplace happier.”
Do you think parents should be able to say, “The school has done everything well and has excelled our hopes and dreams.” and “I think as a school they give a great warmth to pupils and to parents and carers when on site and in all their communication. The school staff are very kind and helpful at all times. I feel the school as a whole is a nice place to be”.
Should the school you work at be recognised nationally as having an area of excellence for behaviour and inclusion?
If this sounds like the type of school you would aspire to work in then The Hundred of Hoo Academy could be the place for you.
The Hundred of Hoo Academy is an all-through school with a Primary phase on its exciting journey growing to two-form entry. With a brand-new eight-classroom extension and existing building which is only 8 years old, 1:1 devices for children from years one to six, exceptional curriculum delivered through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the opportunity to grow in your career by being part of Leigh Academies Trust, our academy is the perfect place to ensure that children are ‘More than just educated’ and truly make a difference.
Being part of Leigh Academies Trust: As of 1st April 2024, our Trust comprises 32 geographically organised academies (16 secondaries, 14 primaries and 2 special) educating more than 20,000 students and employing 3,000 talented staff. Nearly 40% of our academies are judged outstanding overall by Ofsted, versus 15% nationally. The Trust is establishing four ‘clusters’ of academies: North Kent; Central Kent; South East London; Medway. In addition, the Trust is responsible for one of the region’s biggest initial teaching training organisations, a large teaching school hub and is an accredited apprenticeship provider. Our future plans are found in our Vision 2030 document available on our website.
As part of Leigh Academies Trust, you will have ample opportunity to collaborate with your peers both within the academy and across the whole Trust. This is an important part of our vision as we know through experience that we perform better when we work together. You are supported to undertake regular self-development to continue your professional development and hopefully progress further within the organisation.
