Class Teacher

Middlestown Primary Academy are seeking to appoint a talented and creative teacher to join our team.

The successful candidate should be dedicated with the ability to work effectively in collaboration with other colleagues. You will need to demonstrate consistently strong teaching, motivate and inspire pupils whilst setting high expectations. We would encourage the successful candidate to play an active role in the wider part of the school where they will be supported by a team of friendly staff and lovely children.

At Middlestown Primary Academy, we strive to create an environment where pupils enjoy learning and are given the opportunity to stretch themselves both academically and through a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Our success is founded on traditional values set in a warm, friendly environment.

The designated year group allocated for September will be determined on appointment so we welcome applications relative to Year 1 through to Year 6.

Applications are welcomed from teachers across the experience range. We offer an extensive programme of academy and Trust Professional Development, to help you grow and develop as a practitioner - whether an Early Career Teacher or more experienced.

Early Career Teachers (ECTs) will have an experienced mentor assigned from day one in post. Colleagues are supported through their early career years with regular check ins from line managers and opportunities to meet with other ECTs across the Trust and colleagues from HR where any further support and guidance may be required. We are an inclusive academy and Trust and embrace opportunities to develop all colleagues on their journey to success.

We are confident that new staff joining our Trust will feel welcomed and happy to have chosen us. We encourage prospective candidates to look at our website for further information regarding our ‘People Pledge’ and our recently launched Employee Benefit package at Working For Our Trust - Accord (accordmat.org).
