​​​​​​​Horsmonden Primary Academy has an exciting opportunity for a Class Teacher  to join our team for a 1 year fixed maternity cover, starting from January 2024. In joining our vibrant and thriving school, you will contribute your energy and vision to drive the academy to achieve its full potential.

Our appointed candidate’s main focus will be to maintain our strong practice in EYFS. We work together to achieve excellence for all, creating confident, resilient children. The Academy continues to go from strength to strength and it is a fantastic time to join us on our journey. Our children will benefit hugely from an energetic, highly motivated, solution-driven and forward-thinking teacher who places them at the centre of school life, with high expectations of pupil achievement and behaviour, ensuring every child achieves their full potential.

What we will expect of you: We will expect you to successfully plan and deliver outstanding lessons on a daily basis that significantly advance development. We anticipate that you will achieve this by being organised, caring and enthusiastic in everything you do. We want you to be passionate in your pursuit of progress for each and every one of your children so that they can achieve the progress they deserve. Each and every member of staff, regardless of their position or seniority, is expected to participate in the overall running of the school and to act as a positive role model for our students.

You will also be expected to collaborate with your peers both within the academy and across the whole Trust. This is an important part of our vision as we know through experience that we perform better when we work together. 

Please note that the role is offered on a fixed term basis as maternity cover, with a salary commensurate with experience (Main Pay Scale). Every effort will be made to secure a permanent position within the LAT Family of academies thereafter. 

Information about the school

Here at Leigh Academy Horsmonden, our aim is to encourage lifelong learning and develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring individuals that understand the world around them while demonstrating respect. It is important to us all that Horsmonden children are prepared for life outside Horsmonden and that journey starts the minute they walk through our doors.

I feel extremely privileged to be Principal at Horsmonden Primary Academy and to work with such a dedicated, experienced and knowledgeable staff team. We are all proud to work here and firmly believe in every child achieving their best through providing inspiring, motivating and exciting learning opportunities.

As an academy we do not discriminate against pupils or staff because of their sex, race, disability, religion or beliefs or sexual orientation. We have established a clear vision with equality of opportunity at the very heart of this, with an unwavering commitment to ensure the success of every single pupil.

Our curriculum is framed by the Primary Years Programme, from the International Baccalaureate and we strongly believe in the 10 learner profile attributes. They represent the capacities and responsibilities for intellectual, personal, emotional and social growth. Together, staff and children are: inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk takers, balanced and reflective.

Our recent Ofsted report from October 2023 confirms pupils thrive at Leigh Academy Horsmonden and a clear set of learning attributes help pupils recognise what they need to do to be successful. The highly prized ‘Horsmonden Heroes’ awards motivate pupils and identify when these behaviours are demonstrated.

Horsmonden School was founded in 1853 and we have been at the heart of the community ever since. We are proud to have an active, supportive parent body and excellent links with the local community enabling us to work closely together, providing the best experiences for the children of Horsmonden.

If you would like to find out more, please contact the school office to book a guided tour. I look forward to meeting you!
