Dear Candidate,
Thank you for your interest in this role at St Margaret's Primary Academy. We are passionate about developing teachers and ensuring ongoing professional development. We always welcome practitioners in the early stages of their career as well as experienced practitioners with passion and talent to boot.
Unlocking Potential; Transforming Lives, isn't just about getting great results for children, it's about our pupils, staff and community knowing that their starting point does not define their success or journey. We work in one of the most deprived areas in the country, not because it is easy but because every day we are reminded of our passion and commitment to the role we play in the lives of the children, parents and staff we serve.
I want our school to be a Disneyland of schools - about the little moments and not just the big ‘Space Mountain-like’ trips and visits. Every interaction and moment for our children should be memorable and tell them that they are valued and worthy, they are enough. In turn our teachers get the best CPD possible, new research led information and most of all a team that are there for each other and share a common goal.
This is more than just a school, it's somewhere everyone can thrive and we will give you more than just teacher development, we are here to support you in ways that you hadn't even thought of...we like to be different…to be changemakers in education.
To quote Reach2's Headteacher conference this year: Ordinary things done consistently, produce extraordinary results.
We have a team full of superheroes, working tirelessly at the seemingly ordinary to create something really special. Our recent Ofsted inspection is a testament to that. We have been graded as a Good school with 3 Outstanding areas! This is after one year of transformation – what an opportunity it is now to hone our work, refine it and ensure that we strike a balance with quality of life for our team, joy and fulfilment from their working roles and of course incredible education and experiences for our pupils.
If you have any questions or queries you are more than welcome to give us a call. Equally we'd love to see your application and have you visit so that you can see the school for yourself.
We are delighted that you are considering joining the team. If you are passionate, ready to learn, have high expectations and integrity. If you believe in working together and aren't afraid of having audacious goals then we're the school for you. So long as you can have a giggle too!
We look forward to welcoming you to our school.
Miss Zara Lambert
