Graduate Professional - fixed term for a year

Fixed term for a year

‘Responses from the staff questionnaire show that all are committed to a culture where they strive to raise standards, and give pupils the finest education they can.’ Ofsted 2014

Feversham Primary Academy is a very special learning environment that provides a happy, caring community where everyone is encouraged and supported to achieve their goals. Our children are keen to learn, are well behaved and want to achieve their best.

We are popular locally in our BD3 community and we are within commutable distance of Wakefield, Leeds and Keighley and close to the M1 and M62 motorways. Ofsted in September 2014 judged us to be ‘good’ in all areas across the school and we are well on our way to becoming an outstanding Academy.

In what we believe to be an exciting opportunity we are looking for a graduate to join us who may be interested in training to become a teacher in the future. Working in a primary school is rewarding, challenging and where no two days are the same.

We will support you by developing you throughout the year initially starting as a member of our teaching assistant support staff. Dependant on the needs of the successful candidate you will learn about the primary curriculum, behaviour management, assessment for learning and how learning and teaching go hand in hand.

This is a fixed term post initially for one year with a commitment to training you as a primary teacher at the end of the year.

Our staff have benefited from our collaborative work with our other AET ‘northern cluster’ of schools and we will challenge and support you with your career goals while you are part of the ‘Feversham Primary’ family.

The successful candidate will:

• Be a graduate with at least a 2:2 classification
• Have experience of working with young people in any capacity
• Be robust, resilient and take a pride in helping students who can sometimes find school life challenging.
• Be flexible, positive and have a ‘can do’ attitude.

We can offer you:

• A positive, community driven school where high staff morale and low staff turnover have contributed to the rapid improvements in attainment and progress.
• Happy, enthusiastic and well behaved children
• A leadership team who welcome fresh ideas, and see the retention of staff as a high priority.
• Well supported teachers who are committed to driving high standards

We actively encourage candidates to visit us, meet our children and staff and learn about our amazing Academy!
