Job overview

Trustees are offering an exciting and unique opportunity for teachers to join Rainbird Primary, part of Excelsior Academy, Laidlaw Schools Trust.

In September 2013, Excelsior Academy became Newcastle’s first ‘All Through’ provision and welcomed our first cohort of children into Reception and Y1 of Rainbird Primary, within Excelsior Academy. As the year groups extend, and the numbers of pupils grow, so too does the requirement for additional staff. A new nursery provision also opened in September 2015.

Rainbird Primary operates as an autonomous primary school within the framework of Excelsior Academy. Rainbird Primary has its own Headteacher, and its own staff and organisation as well as state of the art accommodation. It also benefits from the resources and opportunities offered by the academy overall such as PE, music, art, food, and technology facilities.

Trustees are looking to appoint 3 teachers on a permanent basis. It is likely that one will be based in nursery, and the others in either Year 3, Year 4, or the combined Year 5/6 class.

The Academy is committed to safeguarding children, and therefore pre-employment checks will be carried out on the successful candidate including a DBS check.

Please visit our website for further application information and further details about the Academy.

Excelsior Academy is an all-through school located in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear. The school was first established in 2008, as a secondary school and sixth form (later split into three separate schools), and in 2012 it was decided that the school would merge with a local primary school, creating a new school for pupils aged 3-19. With around 1200 pupils, Excelsior Academy is larger than the average secondary school, and covers a culturally and economically diverse catchment area, a fact reflected in the school’s intake.

Values and Vision

Excelsior Academy works hard in order to ensure that the transition of pupils from primary to secondary provision is as smooth and non-disruptive as possible. As a relatively young school, it is able to make extensive use of a wide range of modern facilities and learning resources, and offer a diverse and far-reaching curriculum, with older pupils having numerous academic and vocational qualifications to choose from. Excelsior Academy also works hard to provide for pupils with special educational needs.

Ofsted

“Students are most enthusiastic about the academy and talk about being ‘privileged’ to have so many opportunities. They say that they particularly like the fact that they are respected and listened to. The percentage of students gaining five good passes at GCSE, including English and mathematics, has risen by an average of six percentage points each year since the academy opened in 2008. This was from a very low baseline.”
