The Island Learning Trust are seeking to recruit an outstanding Key Stage 2 teacher to work at Sunny Bank Primary School. We are looking for a teacher who loves teaching, children and who aims high in all endeavours, going the extra mile for every child.

The successful candidate will be joining a well-established team who are energetic and passionate about their pupils' learning and wellbeing. They are a dynamic and highly supportive staff team with a sunny outlook who always put children first! Please take a look at our school and Trust websites to find out more about The Island Learning Trust community and why we always encourage everyone 'to be the best we can be'.

In September 2023 we opened our brand new school buildings, which includes a well-resourced nursery and 8 class block including Year R - just what our children, families and community need and deserve! A school for the future; a beautiful building, exciting, engaging curriculum and the highest standards of teaching and learning. The future is bright at Sunny Bank and the sky is the limit!

Since joining the Island Learning Trust in 2020, Sunny Bank Primary School, has been on a rapid improvement journey and outcomes for children at the school have been good for the last two years. At the end of 2023, the KS2 Reading outcomes at the expected standard and the higher standard exceeded the National average. The % of children reaching the expected standards for RWM combined was only 3% below the National average. Attainment in writing, maths and phonics are significantly improving and closing the gap towards National expectations. The successful candidate will be someone who is passionate about helping children to overcome barriers so that they can achieve excellent outcomes.
