Rosslyn Park Primary and Nursery School is seeking to appoint an excellent teaching practitioner to teach Year 1, who has high expectations of pupil progress and a drive for self-development. This is a fixed term maternity cover contract from 19 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 or sooner should the substantive post older return sooner.

Rosslyn Park is a very large primary school with over 700 pupils. The school has changed significantly over the last four years as it has undergone a period of rapid improvement. We became an academy, with Transform Trust, in January 2015, a new Head Teacher took up post in April 2016 and in September 2016 a new staffing structure was implemented allowing bespoke support for teachers and children. As outlined in our Ofsted inspection (November 2017): ‘Leaders have also placed a strong emphasis on coaching, staff training and professional development. Teachers and support staff speak effusively about the quality and quantity of training they receive. As a result, staff are deeply reflective about their own practice and teaching across the school is consistently good.‘ The children are at the centre of everything that we do and we have a relentless focus upon pupil progress ensuring that our children receive the best possible teaching and learning.

Rosslyn Park and the City of Nottingham are fantastic places to work. If you don’t believe us have a look at the Teach Nottingham (Nottingham Education Improvement Board) video on YouTube. It features staff and children at our school and reflects what a great place Rosslyn Park is to teach.

We are looking for inspirational teachers who are committed to creating a stimulating learning environment through excellent classroom practice.

You will:

• Be a consistently good / outstanding primary teacher
• Be passionate about teaching and learning and making a difference to every child.
• Care passionately about children and their development whilst still driving forward pupil progress and achievement.
• value a team working approach and be keen to contribute and share your skills with colleagues
• Have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, able to build on and maintain strong relationships with staff, parents and carers, children, governors and the local and wider community.

In return we offer:
• A welcoming community and a highly motivated, professional staff team that are driven
towards continuously raising standards.
• Excellent professional development opportunities through an extensive range of network groups and other Transform Trust initiatives
• Calm and purposeful learning environments
• Excellent partnerships between pupils, staff, parents, governors and community
• A forward-thinking approach to teaching and learning throughout the school
• Career opportunities as part of a successful Multi Academy Trust

We are a very large primary school situated in Aspley in the North of Nottingham, with just under 700 children on roll. Despite being such a large school, we pride ourselves on supporting individual children and families. We feel it is essential that every child feels valued, is well supported and has a sense of belonging.

We are proud to be a member of the Transform Multi Academy Trust and work closely as a partnership of schools in order to ensure the best possible outcomes for all children.

Additionally we also work closely with our local family of schools, the Primary 6 Partnership, on a number of exciting projects that enhance and enrich the school curriculum.

Our school was built in 2006 and we have invested heavily in ensuring that the building reflects the investment that we put into our children. This has involved creating four houses – Castle, Sherwood, Trent and Highfields. Children collect house points for the work they produce and the winning house is rewarded every half term.

Our Vision, Ethos and Values:

A successful vision for inner city education must recognise that the needs of the pupils cannot be addressed without acknowledging the needs of the community.

Because we recognise our responsibility for each individual child, our school must:

Be an inclusive school.

We will:

Ensure each pupil’s needs are met as fully and effectively as possible to equip them for life in their society.

Value each pupil’s efforts unconditionally.

Work in a culture of achievement and high self-esteem.

Engage in professional dialogues to explore and address individual needs.

Support families in supporting their children.

Be at the heart of the community we serve.

We will:

Act as a community resource.

Seek opportunities to provide for the needs of the school community.

Respect, value and utilise the diversity within our community.

Work in partnership with other establishments and agencies to improve community provision.

Promote independent learning for life.

We will:

Begin in the Foundation Stage.

Place an emphasis on investigative, experiential and creative activities.

Provide high quality opportunities for children to develop their thinking skills.

Focus on Speaking and Listening as a key to developing independence.

Use targets as a means to involve children in their learning.

Provide a rich and varied curriculum that promotes key skills and opportunities for their application.

Have positive attitudes.

We will:

Support, not blame.

Offer opportunities, not excuses.

Have high expectations of pupils, staff, parents and governors.

Promote education beyond the curriculum and education for all.

Have high standards.

We will:

Use data to set challenging targets.

Strive to support pupils to meet and exceed their targets.

Use CPD to improve our teaching and learning.

Never settle for second best.

Challenge underachievement in all areas of school life.

Be a school that others visit to see what “good practice” means.

Provide a safe, secure and happy environment for learning.

Know ourselves and help others to know us.

We will:

Review our practices and procedures regularly, stringently and honestly.

Use data to inform ourselves of our successes and areas to develop.

Involve our stakeholders in our plans for improvement.

Be open to constructive criticism and new ideas.

Publicise our successes and be proactive with the Media.

We will work as one staff, one team, with one common goal – to succeed for the children of Aspley..

A school that succeeds plays a part in raising the esteem of a community. A community that believes in itself succeeds.

We aspire to be a school that good teachers will want to work in, that committed parents will want to send their children to and that pupils will succeed in.
