Class Teacher - EYFS / KS1

“Because children only get one chance to benefit from a great education.”

This is our ‘why’ at Lion Academy Trust - it is our reason for doing everything that we do. 

Do you agree with us? Then we want to hear from you! 

We are looking for 2 EYFS / KS1 teachers (the posts would be ideal for ECTs) who are committed to be as effective as they can be for our children. We will only recruit staff that can engage and inspire both pupils and colleagues. Successful candidates will be resilient, hardworking and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our provision is 'Good or better, everyday'. We have a strong track record for developing extremely successful and effective Teaching Staff and we would love to support you to have a fantastic teaching experience. 

We pride ourselves on being a caring and supportive employer with dedicated career development pathways for teachers.

We are forward-thinking, caring and, most important of all, a happy school where pupils of all abilities and social backgrounds achieve. Our children are at the heart of everything we do and all the decisions we make. Our children are well-behaved and always aspire to be “the best versions of themselves”.

We are a popular and fully-inclusive Infant school situated in Wellingborough. We became a member of the Lion Academy Trust in January 2021 and are well on our journey to making Ruskin Infant School an outstanding school.  We have a fully resourced school and an embedded Trust pedagogy. This includes a developed programme of investment in the IT infrastructure and environment of the school both internally and externally.

What we can offer you:

A dynamic leadership team, to offer you the support and guidance that you need;

A teaching team that is united in their commitment and passion for delivering the very best for our children - with a smile!

Bespoke Trust CPD and external professional development opportunities;

Teachers benefit from teacher development time in addition to PPA to support their personal growth;

A network of schools which provides you with a group of staff, wider than your school, to learn from and be supported by;

Cutting-edge technology provided by partners Google and Apple;

All teachers receive a Chromebook that converts to a tablet, to support planning.

A staff perks membership: providing loyalty rewards and discounts from retailers;

Any employee assistance programme that is free to all employees and their families 

We can offer and encourage tours of our wonderful school but please also visit our school website and Facebook page where you will find a recently filmed video and lots of other information that will give you a real insight into our school community.
