We have an exciting opening for a Key Stage 1 Teacher.  Hamford Primary Academy will provide you with both an excellent community to work in but also an opportunity to live close to the beach to enjoy your evenings and weekends.

Hamford Primary Academy is a vibrant school within the Academies Enterprise Trust Group that is developing a curriculum relevant for the 21st century.  Over the last five years the academy has undergone a significant transformation with a learning community grounded in our core framework (vision, mission, values and colleague pledges).  In addition we place great emphasis on developing children’s character in order to prepare them for the challenges that lie ahead in both their education and life.  As a result, the six Hamford characteristics of be responsible, be curious, be resilient, have integrity, be compassionate and be reflective, are explicitly taught and embedded through the assemblies and learning opportunities provided across the curriculum.

We pride ourselves on challenging teachers to exceed their potential through effective professional development based on self reflection and self directed learning and active research.  Central to this is our teaching and learning blog.
