KS2 Teacher job summary

Thank you for your interest in the role of Teacher.

Wrenthorpe Academy is a popular and successful 1.5 form entry primary school serving the community of Wrenthorpe. The school was inspected by Ofsted in January 2025. Inspectors praised the school’s developments to our ambitious curriculum, and SEND provision. ‘The school’s motto, ‘We only get one life so let’s learn how to live it well,’ shines through the ambitious curriculum. It is reflected in the school’s nurturing culture. Pupils are cared for in a warm, welcoming environment. Staff and pupils alike appreciate learning strategies to support their positive mental and physical health.’

The school continues to be a good school with significant strengths in many areas. The pupils at Wrenthorpe Academy are proud of their school. They describe how the school allows them to embrace individuality and value differences. ‘Pupils’ personal development is at the heart of everything the school does. There is an almost palpable determination to equip pupils with the skills to cope in life. Pupils are prepared well for life beyond school. They benefit from strong pastoral care. They learn how to recognise and cope with different feelings and emotions.’ Ofsted January 2025.

Waterton Academy Trust is a forward-thinking group of 14 partner schools and 4 pre-schools serving Wakefield and Barnsley. The trust’s primary goal is to ensure all pupils receive an excellent standard of education. Wrenthorpe Academy joined the trust as an academy convertor in 2017 and staff, governors, pupils and families are very proud to be part of this collaborative group

We look forward to receiving your application.

Warm Regards,
