Welcome to Utterby Primary Academy, a school with enormous potential and one where I am proud to lead. Utterby has the ambition, the expertise and the students to become an outstanding school. Join us and be part of this journey!
Here at Utterby Primary we share a special and unique learning community with our partner school North Thoresby Primary Academy, and we are proud to serve the village of Utterby near Louth, and surrounding areas. Our staff commute not just from Louth, but from Cleethorpes, Grimsby and North East Lincolnshire.
I have been at North Thoresby and Utterby for six and a half years, having been Head for a year and a half, and I am proud to say that I have enjoyed every one of them! I am fortunate to have a dedicated staff team to ensure that all the children make the best progress they could possibly make and, that all students attending the Academy, whatever their back-story, have access to the very best educational experiences possible.
If you want to work in a village setting with wonderful well behaved children, supportive leadership and tailored professional learning opportunities then we want to hear from you!
The children benefit from smaller than average class sizes, a teaching assistant in each class to help support with maths and literacy and our mini bus service which gives them access to learn in the outside world.
In order to continue to move forward, it is absolutely vital that we attract the right calibre of professional to work alongside our dedicated team of staff; a colleague who shares the clear vision that the child is at the very heart of everything we do; a colleague who is able to enjoy positive, professional relationships with young people; and, perhaps most importantly, a colleague who can demonstrate high levels of resilience and emotional intelligence when dealing with, at times, complex and sensitive situations.
We are part of the Academies Enterprise Trust network of schools, which provides a high degree of support and expertise to the whole school community and we enjoy partnerships with other AET schools around the country.
If you feel you have the skills, expertise, energy, enthusiasm and passion to join the staff team here, please ensure you submit an application and visit us.
In the meantime, I very much look forward to hearing from you. I appreciate the amount of time that goes into an application, so thank you in advance for considering joining us.
With very best regards,
Mrs Helen Redmond (Executive Head)
