Job overview

Hamford Primary Academy is a vibrant school within Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) that is developing a curriculum relevant for the 21st century. Over the last four 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.

Hamford Primary Academy has been chosen to provide a primary enhanced provision for children with ASD in North East Essex. The purpose built provision will provide for up to 8 high functioning pupils aged 4 to 11 years to enable them to access mainstream provision. This is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to lead this exciting new venture working alongside our Inclusion Manager.
