Primary School Teacher

The Bramble Academy is a community primary school with the capacity to have up to 230 children, including our nursery, on roll. From gardeners to writers, explorers to sports people (sometimes all in the same day!) our children make this school a happy place to be. We believe in opening minds, creating opportunities for all to believe in themselves, achieve their potential and develop the skills needed to succeed and enjoy life. 

We place our pupils and students at the heart of everything we do. Our Trust is unique with the combination of mainstream and special schools, enabling staff to benefit greatly from collaborative learning as well as the latest pedagogical research ensuring that the children and students in our care receive a first class education.

We are seeking to appoint a HLTA.  The successful candidate will join a dedicated team seeking to improve the outcomes and lives of all children in the community we serve.
