Teacher

The Role

Glenleigh Park is looking for a talented teacher to join the staff team

We are excited to be adding to our already amazing teaching team.  This post would be suitable for ECTs or experienced teachers.

Glenleigh Park is a school that can offer exceptional professional development opportunities, high levels of support and the chance to make a real difference to pupils’ outcomes. We work closely with other schools in our Trust and there are many opportunities to share ideas and learn from each other. Glenleigh Park is a fun, exciting and supportive place to work. We set ourselves ambitious targets and know these can be achieved by working together.

In our recent Ofsted inspection (December 2023) we were praised for our welcoming and inclusive community ethos. That is reflected in the warm, trusting relationships between staff, pupils and parents. The report said that “staff deeply care about pupils’ well-being and provide bespoke support to enable them to thrive.

Over the past few years, we have redesigned our curriculum, so it ensures that our teaching actively engages pupils to deepen and embed key concepts and skills as well as the transfer of knowledge across the curriculum. Also, we believe that every pupil can be a reader. We work in partnership with Hackney Learning Trust to deliver Daily Supported Reader and Destination Reader and have invested in Reading Recovery as an integral part of our approach to reading; ensuring that no pupil leaves Glenleigh Park unable to read and write and all pupils enjoy reading for pleasure. In addition, we teach phonics from nursery using the Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc programme. We have adopted a mastery approach to the teaching of mathematics and have a trained specialist teacher leading maths.

Glenleigh Park Primary Academy and Nursery is part of Aurora Academies Trust, an organisation that is committed to nurturing and developing talent. Our seven schools spanning nursery, primary and secondary provision are all judged to be good or better by Ofsted.

 We are looking for someone:

·       With the energy and passion to motivate, challenge and support children to be their very best

·       Who thrives as part of a team and is committed to continuing school improvement

·       That has high expectations of themselves and others

·       Who understands the importance of the job teachers do and who has a sense of humour and knows when to use it

·       Who enjoys learning and wants to develop their skills and expertise further

If you are interested in this post we strongly recommend that you arrange a visit to the school to find out more about the role and what makes Glenleigh Park unique.
