What skills and experience we're looking for

Candidates should have the drive to become outstanding classroom practitioners who can make a significant contribution to the school's ongoing success by bringing new ideas, initiative and a commitment to raising standards. You will be energetic, creative and passionate about teaching; willing to engage with the most up to date evidence around effective teaching and how pupils best learn; and willing to share expertise while continuing to develop your pedagogy.

In return, we can offer you an outstanding school with enthusiastic pupils, a supportive and dynamic team, fantastic facilities and strong parent and community links.

Applications are welcome from both Early Career Teachers and experienced teachers.

Please make explicit within your application:

  • your teaching experiences from previous posts by year group,
  • the duration of your teaching experiences,
  • any teaching practices for Early Career Teachers. (ECTs are encouraged to include their placement reports).
  • in the application please detail any subject specialisms or areas of interest that you could bring to the school.

What the school offers its staff

  • We are proud to have staff on local delivery teams for the National Professional Qualification (NPQ) in Leading Teaching; the NPQ in Leading Teacher Development; and the NPQ in Behaviour and Culture. Additionally, members of the Throckley team support the delivery of the ECF programme by facilitating training for both Early Careers Teachers, and mentors, supporting the work of an approved local ECF delivery partner.
  • We are actively involved in Initial Teacher Training and continuing professional development. This thriving team has a wealth of experience and expertise which both newly qualified and more experienced practitioners will undoubtedly both benefit from and contribute to.
  • We pride ourselves in being an evidence-informed school; staff development is central to our practice. A number of staff are currently studying towards National Professional Qualifications, all of which have an impact on wider staff development and, in turn, pupil outcomes.
  • We are a Behaviour Hub lead school and this programme gives us an excellent opportunity to share our exemplary behaviour culture and practices with other schools regionally and nationally.
  • We are proud to be an accredited Pupil Book Study training school. Pupil Book study provides a systematic, evidence-informed toolkit which supports schools in evaluating the quality and impact of curriculum, through studying teaching and learning.
  • We are a PFI school. The building was initially planned as a middle school but was specially converted to meet the requirements of younger children. The learning environment and facilities that we offer are exceptional.
