Northdown Primary School is a popular two form entry primary school in Margate. The schools aim is for children to grow and develop in an environment where they are cared for, listened to and respected as well as being given consistent, secure and firm boundaries. The school ensures that children develop lifelong learning skills, showing the ability to take responsibility for their own learning so that they can face future challenges with confidence. Northdown has supported TKAT SCITT School Direct trainees for many years, offering a high-quality training experience.

School Direct is an employment-based route into teaching leading to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) qualification.

Our programme prepares trainees to be outstanding teachers through a high-quality teaching and learning experience. The programme supports trainees to meet the government expectations outlined in the 2012 Teachers' Standards. Impact on pupil progress is at the heart of our programme.

Trainees will be employed by their placement school and will work alongside Good and Outstanding teachers four days a week. Weekly professional studies sessions will be held in local schools and occasionally at The Atkins Centre in Sidcup, where you will gain the support and skills needed to develop your classroom practice.

Once qualified, we also offer a Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) Programme, valuable mentoring opportunities and support to progress into a Leadership role and beyond.

Applicants must have:

• a UK (or equivalent) degree (minimum 2:2);
• GCSE (or equivalent) in Mathematics, English and Science at Grade C/4 or above;

Information about the school

Our Primary school was established as an Academy by The Kemnal Academies Trust in 2012. We are one of a number of Primary schools supported by TKAT across the South East of England.

Working within a Multi-Academy Trust, we are in a privileged position to collaborate with other schools and receive the first-hand experience of immediate and significant teacher training which enables us to be innovative in our approaches to 21st-century teaching practice.

Through our ethos of ‘I Can…’, we believe that every child can succeed. We ensure that our children develop high aspirations, self-belief, and an understanding of their world and their community. We believe that the mastery of reading, writing, and mathematics are the cornerstones that allow children and young people to build a happy, self-determined, and fulfilled life.

All staff at our school strive to build upon our vision of children and families exploring new horizons - raising aspirations through supporting the community in many different ways and often the unexpected. We recognise the importance of having strong relationships with parents and the community, and the impact it has on learning outcomes.

We believe in creating an environment where all children are valued and their voices heard so that the education we deliver is tailored to the children of our community. We recognise that our community is influenced by many cultures, beliefs, and life circumstances that shape the present lives of our children.

With our ethos of ‘I can…’ we invest in the core values of Harmony, Curiosity, Courage, Determination, and Aspiration which are intrinsic to a developed curriculum that recognises the unique makeup of our community. We are committed to taking the children on a journey of challenge and self-discovery through new experiences to promote growth, both in mind and body.

Education is a fundamental human right and we are proud to serve these children and their community. We are committed to promoting the long-term collective well-being of all the children entrusted to our care and are committed to supporting children’s positive mental health.
