The Stour Academy Trust are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and resilient KS2 teacher to join our passionate team at Richmond Academy, starting in September 2019.

Richmond Academy is undergoing an enriching transformation under the ‘strong and inspirational leadership’ of The Stour Academy Trust. Inspected by Ofsted in February 2019, the effective leadership was highlighted, “The headteacher has brought stability and a renewed sense of ambition to the school. She has won the confidence of staff, pupils and many parents with her clarity of vision and openness.”

Our support given to our teachers, including NQTs was also emphasised by Ofsted:

“Leaders provide effective support for teachers, many of whom are new to the school and the profession. Teachers are proud to work in the school and benefit from high quality training.”

“Teachers, almost all of whom started at the school in September 2018, and some of whom are new to the profession, are proud to work at the school. They feel well supported by leaders, who they believe care for their well-being. One member of staff who responded to Ofsted’s online survey wrote, 'The leadership team are endlessly supportive and treat staff with respect. They have put in place an excellent work-life balance and always make time for their staff.'

“The school and trust provide time and opportunities for teachers to update their skills. For example, teachers moderate their assessment of pupils’ work with colleagues from other trust schools and benefit from training sessions led by experts from a local university.”

We are encouraging applications from both experienced teachers and NQTs

We can offer all successful applicants:

• A permanent contract
• Opportunity to move to other schools within the Trust
• Full induction process
• Ever evolving work-life balance package – including staff being able to take their PPA time at home (1 full day every fortnight).
• Support from a network of experienced teachers
• Excellent career development opportunities

 We can offer experienced teachers:

• More responsibility
• Greater professional development
• Opportunity to take on leadership responsibilities
• Rapid career progression

 We can offer NQTs:

• Support from experienced mentors
• Frequent opportunities to observe best practice from other teachers within the trust
