KS2 Class Teacher

Harris Primary Academy Kent House opened in 2013 on the site of Royston Primary School in Penge. We have the highest possible aspirations for our staff and pupils. Our belief is that children thrive when they are consistently happy and safe at school. We expect all our children to make very good progress and develop the skills and personal qualities they will need for the future. The Academy was recently judged Outstanding and this is an exciting time to join a hard-working, motivated, highly successful and flourishing team.

We are looking for an experienced, or newly qualified, KS2 Class Teacher who is motivated, passionate about teaching and learning, and committed to making a difference. We welcome applications from experienced practitioners or NQTs who will:

• Model and disseminate high quality teaching pedagogy and practice to secure consistently good or outstanding teaching and learning for our children;

• Contribute to the wider life at the Academy;
• Maintain a dynamic and inspiring learning environment;
• Be innovative, highly motivated and eager to take a lead;
• Strive to ensure each of our pupils reaches their full potential;
• Have good interpersonal skills and be able to work well as part of our team.

At Kent House you would be working as part of a very supportive team. In addition to the benefits outlined, we offer excellent professional development opportunities provided by Harris Federation.

We would also offer:

• An ambitious, successful and vibrant place to work;
• Children who are bright, confident and eager to learn;
• A supportive working culture that focuses on positive learning behaviour and high expectations for all children;
• A senior leadership team that is highly committed to developing others

For NQTs, we provide our highly successful Harris Federation NQT programme where you will train alongside other NQTs from across the Federation. This enables aspiring teachers to support and learn from each other, in the true collaborative spirit of Harris. There is a structure of support and challenge with customised professional learning, and every NQT has a professional mentor.
