What the school offers its staff

Kingsway joined WPAT in December 2020, when it was known as Simms Cross Primary School. The school consists of classes from Nursery through to Year 6, as well as four thriving Autistic Spectrum Disorder resource bases run on behalf of Halton Borough Council. Since academy conversion, the school has significantly improved in all areas. The quality of education that pupils receive has been transformed to capitalise on pupils’ interests, from our inspiring Nursery to building resilience and unlocking potential for a smooth transition to secondary school at Year 6. Our learning environments have been substantially renovated, and we have invested in our estate to make the school a welcoming, vibrant, and stimulating learning environment where curiosity and creativity thrive. The entire school community and Trust were delighted with the most recent Ofsted inspection, when Kingsway Primary Academy was graded as ‘Good’ in all areas (September 2023). You will be joining our Trust at an exciting part of our journey, where we continue to build on the incredible work in Kingsway and further enhance the capacity and capabilities of our Trust, including opportunities to influence to the teaching profession more widely through WPAT’s Generate Teaching Hub, based at the Kingsway site. As well as a dedicated and passionate staff cohort at Kingsway Primary Academy, you will contribute to and be supported by WPATs central services and network groups, through system leadership of excellence, to empower our school communities. This post will be an extremely rewarding experience for the right candidate. You will influence change across the Trust and its growing community of schools through our wonderful pupils, dedicated and talented staff, a supportive Local Governing Committee and an array of opportunities across the wider WPAT schools and Generate Teaching Hub.
