We are looking to appoint an inspirational, ambitious and talented Class Teacher to join our dedicated and enthusiastic team. The role of the Class Teacher is central to the success of Gunton Primary Academy and is a position which has a direct impact on the outstanding learning opportunities provided to the pupils.
Class Teachers are responsible for the day-to-day teaching and learning provision for all children in their class, including those with Special Educational Needs, English as an Additional Language, those more-able learners and those eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant. You will receive coaching and mentoring from experienced leaders in the academy to ensure that you are supported in all aspects of what you do.
Therefore, we welcome applications from experienced teachers as well as those Early Careers Teachers (ECTs).
We rightly pride ourselves on the high expectations we place on the academic achievements and behaviour of all children, whatever their need, as well as a broad, diverse and engaging creative curriculum which underpins all that we do.

There is no doubt that Gunton Primary Academy is an exciting place to be – for children, staff, parents and the local community!
As a Class Teacher, you will be passionate about ensuring the best outcomes for children and giving them every opportunity to succeed, whatever their barriers may be. where every child is respected and treated as an individual, with no limits placed on their learning – just opportunities to continually improve with a Growth Mindset approach. We do not ‘label’ children or group them by perceived ‘ability’; we will instead give all children equal opportunities to challenge themselves through the range of tasks and activities presented to them – empowering children to take ownership and responsibility for their own learning.
Whatever your teaching background, we would love to hear from you!

- A motivated individual who wants to achieve the very best for the children in our care and be relentless in the pursuit of excellence
- Excellent inter-personal skills

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a successful, vibrant, popular and happy school that is part of a large, dynamic and supportive Trust. You will be joining a school that has children from Nursery age all the way through to Year 6. We are very much an integral part of the local community, with great relationships with our families, community groups and other local schools. Our facilities are well-maintained and we have long-term financial stability and sustainability. For the last 10 years we have been over-subscribed and many parents have actively chosen to transfer their children to us if and when a space occurs.
Our ethos is very child-centered and, like our Trust, we constantly strive to provide our children with exceptional opportunities, not just within the classroom but also in the wider curriculum of our school.
There are 3 key parts of our ethos: Grow, Persevere and Aspire. These encapsulate our purpose in preparing our children for a life of learning and to grow into confident, positive, responsible members of modern British society.
Our staff team is very friendly, skilled, experienced and highly-committed. We want someone to join us who believes that going that extra mile and making a difference to children’s life chances is a pleasure.
