Welcome to Braeburn Primary and Nursery Academy and I am delighted that you are considering joining us as a staff member as we broaden our horizons together.
It is fair to say that since October 2018 we have seen a lot of change at Braeburn and we have renewed energy, commitment and a clear focus towards moving our school forward.
Since we joined the Ebor Academy Trust (in October 2018) we have seen rapid improvement in almost all areas of our work – and our community now comment on our improved well-being provision, our redesigned curriculum and our wider opportunities enrichment programme.
Our very creative staff have a real love of teaching and we are looking for a future member of our team who can develop that sense of awe and wonder in children. The children at Braeburn are delightful, happy, confident and energetic. They are passionate about their learning, be it in the traditional classroom or through drama, music, dance and sports. We are looking for someone who can embrace these aspects of the curriculum as well as English and Maths.
We have embedded new strategies which are underpinned by a Restorative approach to behaviour management. Many of our staff are now involved in the CPD programmes offered through the Opportunity Area and through our Trust.
The Ebor Academy Trust - a family of over 20 primary schools - offer wide ranging opportunities for our staff to access CPD and professional qualifications and draw upon specialists that will nurture, challenge and support you.
There are no limits to what our children can achieve if every single member of our community takes ownership of this, works hard and aspires for excellence. Our school motto encompasses our vision and aims for every member of our community:
Excellence through effort, aspiration and high expectations. We can because we believe we can.
We welcome visitors and hope that you will come and see for yourself what a happy place our school is and the journey we are on.
