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

At Ruskin Infant School we believe that all children have a right to an excellent education in order to give them the best life chances. We have high aspirations for our children, staff and communities. At the heart of our school, is a dedicated team of staff who are committed to being part of a school that is equipped to enable all students to make outstanding progress.

We are looking for a Reception teacher and a KS1 teacher to join our team. The successful candidate will be committed to becoming a highly effective teacher. We look to 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 caring and supportive employers with dedicated career development pathways for teaching staff and a relentless focus on work life balance for all staff.

We are a caring and happy school where children 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.
