Advert

Oaks Primary Academy has an exceptional opportunity for a committed, enthusiastic and passionate Class Teacher to join their team from September 2023. Joining Oaks Primary Academy will enable you to work with like-minded colleagues who share similar goals and ambitions and pupils who are hard-working, motivated and reflective. You will be part of a team that provides outstanding educational opportunities for all of our pupils through creative, carefully sequenced and highly effective lines of inquiry where all learners are at the very core of driving our curriculum.

If you would like to be part of a team that shares a strong belief that all students deserve a world-class education, then join us as we strive to offer our pupils the very best at their local community school. We want our students to leave our primary school as well-rounded, lifelong learners and global citizens that are ready for secondary school and beyond - and we know the importance of recruiting staff members who can bring this to fruition. Whether you are new to the teaching profession or experienced, you will contribute to leading and shaping the vision and future of our academy and wider Trust. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Our successful candidate will work as part of an outstanding, one-form entry team who strives for the very best education for all children. This role will also provide the opportunity to develop subject leadership and help shape whole-school teaching and learning. We pride ourselves in delivering a broad and balanced curriculum which interweaves the National Curriculum with the International Baccalaureate to create an aspirational learning environment. 

Our ideal candidate will have experience in teaching Key Stage 1 so a strong foundation and knowledge of this key stage is highly desirable for this role. You will also need to be a strong team player who values collaboration across all members of the team. 

This is a permanent position offering MPS/UPS commensurate with experience. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Join our team because:

We care - about our pupils through our human scale approach to education, our staff and their well-being and the communities that we serve, driven by our high ideals and strong moral values.

We have boundless ambition - to achieve excellence for all and create confident young adults with high levels of resilience and integrity.

We work together - as one team in the belief that we are greater than the sum of our parts. We foster an enterprising culture through collaboration and in close partnership with industry and other educators.

We keep getting better - using our ‘can-do’ attitude towards continuous improvement and innovation.

Information about the school

We are delighted to welcome you to our academy website where we hope you will find the information you are looking for. Please do not hesitate to contact us for anything else that you wish to know.

Here at Oaks Primary Academy, we continue to provide outstanding education to all children. Every child is unique and has the opportunity to develop and grow as a learner. We feel it is vitally important that children learn about and connect with their communities. By doing so this broadens their horizons to the impact they can have on the wider world and the insight to where a fantastic education can lead them in life. Our curriculum offer is broad, balanced and bespoke. By delivering the National Curriculum through the lens of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, we aim to foster a love of learning where every individual has a voice, choice and ownership over their learning journey. We champion outside of the box thinking and empower our pupils to take action alongside their learning wherever possible. Our inquiry led approach presents children with problems faced in society (past and present), an understanding of perspective and the opportunity to pursue their passions. We further enhance our curriculum with a co-curricular provision which presents the children with a plethora of enriching avenues in which to deepen their learning.

We are a proud member of Leigh Academies Trust who are pioneering in their drive to improve educational standards for all. We are part of a team who strive for such excellence and are presented with a wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise from our fellow Leigh Academies Trust Academies. We are fortunate to be supported with cutting edge technology and resources which can break down barriers to learning, help us act more sustainably and prepare children for the technological world they will be responsible for shaping.

Community is at our core and we value every stakeholder within our immediate and wider network, including our international school links helping us connect across the globe.
