Primary teacher EYFS, KS1 or KS2 job summary
Develop as an exceptional teacher in a forward thinking and ambitious all-through school
KSA is a pioneering school looking to hire exceptional people. This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious and high-performing primary teacher who is committed to pushing themselves further and achieving amazing things with and for their pupils. We believe in high expectations and a sense of collaborative and positive enthusiasm which brings out the best in our team. Through weekly coaching and co-planning time, we invest in professional development to help our teachers excel in creating a very successful environment for our pupils.
King Solomon Academy is a genuine all-through school, with our pupils staying with us from nursery to sixth form across two sites ten minutes walk apart. Because of this, we have a unique opportunity to have a long term and dramatic impact on our pupils’ lives. This all starts in our primary school, where our pupils develop, and grow a love of learning.
We have a strong track-record as a school in making a significant impact on our pupils’ lives. We adopt a mastery approach in primary, meaning that our pupils have more time and explicit teaching of the skills and concepts that underpin long term success in academics, enriched by a varied and cultural capital enhancing curriculum which inspires and engages our pupils. Our specialist teaching model allows pupils to benefit from expert teaching in PE, music, art and means staff have time to plan other subjects properly.
Through our approach to professional development we can promise a successful candidate a positive and rewarding journey of growth. Through shared weekly and long term planning, a large number of training days and access to the resources and opportunities in the Ark network, we are able to support our teachers to thrive.
Over the last 2 years we have been working collaboratively with Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy, and in September 2019 we combined to form one all-through school with Nursery-Year 4 on our Younger Years Site (Crompton Street) and Year5-Year 13 on the Older Years Site (Penfold Street). Our exciting plans for the future include creating a new build expanded nursery (due to be complete in Autumn 2020), and a primary setting with a high quality provision for pupils on a larger site with generous outdoor space.
