The successful applicant will be enthusiastic, positive, optimistic, flexible and motivated.

What the school offers its staff
From
1st January 2024, the ONE Trust will be a newly established
multi-academy trust responsible for eight schools serving communities in
the outer west of the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The area is
mixed socio-economically but serves a high percentage of disadvantaged
families. Several of the schools have particularly high numbers of
disadvantaged pupils who eventually go onto a number of secondary school
settings post Key Stage Two. The schools are united by their commitment to the
principles of the Trust and a common belief in the strength of collaboration
together.
The primary schools of the Outer West Learning Trust have worked together closely, and in a structured way, for over nine years as part of a Foundation Trust.
We believe that forming a new MAT will be a progressive step that will formalise, strengthen and sharpen the school improvement focus of our current partnership with like-minded schools. Our aim is to provide the best possible educational experience in which all pupils thrive now, and in future. Our schools will continue to collaborate towards the following vision:
‘To build a shared learning community in which children, young people, staff and parents discover their talents, realise their potential, and develop a passion for learning that endures throughout their lives.’
This will underpin everything we do as an Academy Trust. It will be supported by the following 5 key factors we aim to achieve as a strong trust:
- A cutting-edge school improvement system
- A high-quality, inclusive education
- Strategic and expert governance
- Financial sustainability
- Workforce development
Commitment to safeguarding
This school is strongly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful applicant will be required to obtain an Enhanced Certificate of Disclosure from the DBS and a range of other recruitment checks. A copy of the school's Safer Recruitment Policy and Child Protection Policy are included with the applicant pack for your information.
