What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for a class teacher for a fixed period of the summer term 2026 in Key Stage 2.

The role will be based at IKB Primary School which opened in September 2020 to Reception pupils and has grown organically by a year group with every following year. The school has been built to meet the demands of the local community and the growing number of houses in the area.

Our curriculum incorporates carefully selected knowledge and skills that are brought to life in a way that is meaningful and exciting for children, promoting a life-long love of learning. It also provides the cultural capital that they need to be successful in learning as well as in their future lives.

The curriculum is organised in a way which enables children to revisit knowledge and build depth of knowledge and understanding as well as ensure they learn more and remember more. Through the way our curriculum is organised we help children to make meaning of the world, develop their vocabulary and broaden their horizons. Each subject and learning experience is content rich, with knowledge carefully selected and deliberately ambitious. Our curriculum is coherent and well planned, building on what has come before and will encourage learners to be curious about their learning. Our approach to supporting children who may need help to access the curriculum is through pre and post teaching, targeted interventions and adaptive teaching strategies. This makes sure those children have the knowledge and skills to succeed in accessing learning rather than having to be continuously catching up.

What the school offers its staff

The Blackdown Education Partnership is a newly formed trust created by the merger of two founding trusts which shared some important similar values. Put simply, we believe that collaboration, partnership working and sharing our best ideas will enable us to deliver on our mission.

• To nurture and develop the ambition, talents and interests of every child.
• To break down the barriers that inhibit the opportunities and achievements of disadvantaged pupils so that they can go on to lead lives of choice and opportunity.
• To create a family of schools that are deeply and purposefully connected to their communities.

We take staff wellbeing seriously and take active steps to reduce workload. We have a wellbeing offer which includes up to two paid personal days per year, an employee assist programme and discounted gym membership at some of our bigger schools. We are always willing to consider flexible working requests and job-shares and pride ourselves on a family friendly approach across our schools. The best resource we can provide for pupils is highly skilled, happy and fulfilled staff.

IKB opened in September 2020 as a brand-new school on the recently built Longforth Farm development in Wellington. The school was built to cater to the growing numbers of families moving into the Wellington area, and particularly for this development. In 2020 IKB welcomed its first cohort of Reception children. Since then, the school has grown organically, one year group at a time to its current size of primary aged children from Reception to Year 5, inclusive of its thriving IKB Bright Sparks nursery provision.
