Class Teacher – September 2024
Permanent – MPS
The Governors of Pennine Way Junior Academy wish to appoint a permanent Class Teacher from September 2024 following the departure of a member of our teaching staff to take on a new role.
We are looking for an outstanding classroom practitioner who has had recent experience teaching in Key Stage 2. We are not looking for anyone with a particular subject specialism but are looking for a teacher who is passionate about their favourite subjects in the curriculum, as well as the wider curriculum as a whole. We wish to appoint someone who can bring enthusiasm and innovation to help our school in the next stage of its journey and actively support the Senior Leadership Team in achieving the school’s aims and upholding their values and those of Embark Federation.
We have an excellent, vibrant staff, who enjoy working at Pennine Way, and all applicants will need to be team players. Planning, preparation and assessment are often done collaboratively and we shall be seeking a candidate with the skills necessary to do this effectively; showing a commitment to the team, being reflective and modelling good practice. The right candidate will have a track record of achieving rapid and sustained pupil progress and will be a practitioner who puts the well-being of the children at the heart of all they do.
Support for new members of staff will be provided. All our staff receive PPA time over and above the 10% minimum and should the successful applicant be an ECT then they will receive the support of one of our experienced members of staff, to further assist and guide them through the induction period.
Please have a look at our website for more information about our school and read our latest Ofsted report (November 2019) where the school was rated as GOOD. We are very proud of our school and are looking forward to welcoming a new member of staff to work within our dedicated team.
