Class Teacher - Key Stage 2

At Ruskin Academy we live, work and learn through our Five Ways 

'Be Proud' - 'Show Respect' - 'Bounce Back' - Stay Safe' - 'Take Responsibility'

We are a popular and fully-inclusive junior school situated in the Queensway area of Wellingborough and close to the main line station.  We became a member of the  Lion Academy Trust in September 2018 and have started, on our journey, to make Ruskin Academy an outstanding school. 

We are looking for KS2 teachers that are passionate, committed and confident practitioners. We want to recruit staff that engage and inspire both pupils and colleagues.  Ideal candidates will be resilient, hard working and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our provision is 'Good or better, everyday'.

We have  introduced the Trust pedagogy and started to fully resource the school. This includes a developed programme of investment  in the  IT infrastructure and environment of the school both internal and external.

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

We incorporate our Trust induction programme alongside bespoke career professional development. Programmes range from Newly Qualified Teacher development through to Middle and Senior Leader qualifications. Our partnership with the Institute of Education enhances this CPD offer, with many professional qualifications open to our team.

What do we offer our new teachers?

· Recruitment incentives available for exceptional candidates

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

· Bespoke Trust CPD and external professional development opportunities;

· All teachers benefit from teacher development time in addition to PPA to support their personal growth.

· Cutting-edge technology provided by partners Google and Apple;

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