Schools this job is for

Advert

The Stour Academy Trust are looking to recruit enthusiastic and resilient class teachers to work in KS1 and KS2 in our Swale Hub.

Due to the collaborative nature of the Trust, these vacancies could be at any one of the following schools:

Lansdowne Primary School, Thistle Hill Academy or Richmond Academy. 

It has never been a better time to join the Swale hub and be part of a team that truly are making a difference to childrens' lives. At our most recent Ofsted (Richmond 2019) it was recognised that "Officers and trustees of The Stour Academy Trust have high expectations and are relentless in securing the necessary improvements. They are systematically reversing past weaknesses and creating a culture of achievement in the school."

Lansdowne was rated as a Good school with Outstanding in Leadership and Early Years by Ofsted in September 2017, with inspectors praising the school’s “high-quality professional development for staff” and “outstanding curriculum”.

Since January 2018, the trust’s renewed efforts to drive improvement [at Thistle Hill Academy] have shown credible success. Leaders’ actions are already having a significant effect on the quality of teaching and pupils’ progress.

At interview we will be able to discuss with you about the potential opportunities available at each school - please use the links above to see more details about each school or visit our websites and social media pages. 

Please note: references will be requested prior to interview (once selection of applicants for interviews has been agreed)

Information about the trust

Join a supportive and collaborative network of staff at The Stour Academy Trust.

The Stour Academy Trust recognises that our education system needs to quickly and more radically shift to close equity gaps and to better prepare our young people for the 21st century. We are transforming our schools from passive forms of learning focused on direct instruction and memorisation, by moving towards interactive methods that promote the critical and individual thinking needed in today’s innovation-driven economy.

Our pedagogical model combined with the intentional deployment of technology will help us deliver personalised learning in an enabling environment. Technology will accelerate our progress but will not be the driver of our vision.

We aim to nurture a community of learners that challenge thinking, where our staff are empowered to take risks and develop their practice to meet the needs of an evolving school system, which is not held back by traditional restrictions and ideologies.

By limiting routine or unnecessary tasks we allow professionals to focus on learning behaviours and interactions which will promote emotional intelligence and the development of children as life-long, curious learners.

There will be no barriers to achievement within our learning community and our teachers will build strong relationships that facilitate the learning of others. Collaboration will open doors, minds and possibilities and enable individuals to meet their personal goals. .

We are looking for people that:

•Recognise that our current education system needs to radically change to better prepare our young people for the 21st century

•Want to move away from passive forms of learning and move towards interactive teaching methods that promote critical and individual thinking

•Are able to take advantage of the latest technology to deliver personalised learning that is accessible for all children, irrespective of their language skills, reading ability or any other factors that may present learning challenges

•Want to work with other staff as a community of learners that challenge traditional thinking

•Want to develop their own practice to meet the needs of an evolving school system

•Want to develop children as life-long, curious learners

•Want to build strong relationships with children that facilitate their learning

•Want to teach in enabling environments that promote flexibility, collaboration and independence
