WHAT YOU WILL GAIN FROM WORKING WITH US
We are proud of our team and what we can offer staff who wish to join us. We recognise that joining a new school is as much about what we can provide as it is about what the successful applicant can give to us. Therefore, we offer the following through our school and The Keys Academy Trust:
A dedicated team who go above and beyond for each other.
A commitment to your professional development, with a bespoke career pathway (both within Sonning and within our Trust) which includes locally-delivered NPQs (through our Trust delivery team), leadership opportunities (including leading subject areas or school improvement), and a comprehensive CPD package (including ECT training).
Collaboration and workload sharing with other schools within the Trust.
A vibrant, fun and welcoming staff and environment.
An opportunity to develop yourself professionally by working with some of the best teachers within a safe and creative environment.
The chance to be a part of our exciting and highly-commended curriculum design process and evidence-based practice.
Why are we different?
Working in a high-performing school like ours means that there is such clarity on vision, consistency in practice and confidence in processes that the school and its teams run smoothly, efficiently and with precision. We have honed our provision over the years and this allows us to innovate and be bold with our decisions, which we take with the pupils’ best interests at heart.

We are seeking a passionate, hardworking and committed teacher to join our exceptional team. We are proud of our exciting curriculum and excellent standards (in class and out of class), and therefore are looking for someone with the following qualities:
A strong teaching practitioner who has experience in EYFS (and, ideally, understanding of KS1).
