Are you looking for a new challenge?

Do you have skills, knowledge and ideas that you want to use to make a difference?

Are you passionate about making a difference?

If the answer to these questions is “Yes!” then we may be what you are looking for.

Brocklewood Primary School is an exciting place to work with a large staff of friendly and hardworking people who are dedicated to making a difference to the lives of children and families from one of the most deprived areas in Nottingham.

The school is part of Transform Trust, a group of schools where we share good practice, ideas and workload and are willing to give new ideas a go. We have access to high quality CPD for staff at all levels, including leadership development and coaching. The school was inspected in March 2023 and remains “good” in all areas.  This is an exciting time to join our forward-thinking team and to help shape further improvements beyond good.

Brocklewood staff are a strong team. They frequently learn from each other when they listen to the ‘expert in the room’. Workload is well-managed. Staff are not asked to do something without a well-researched reason.

We are looking to recruit an excellent practitioner to work in partnership with colleagues mainly in Key Stage 1 initially. The successful candidate will be well-supported by the KS1 team of experienced and early-career teachers and TAs. 

Our school motto is “IMAGINE, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE” and runs through all that we do for pupils and staff. We believe that everyone (children and adults) should be supported and developed to “Be at their Best” in order to achieve their potential.  

We are proud of our Brocklewood Curriculum which has been designed to meet the needs of our pupils and prepare them to be global citizens. We are proud to be a Music Hub School, an Artsmark school, forest school and have recently been a Voice21 Hub School for our work on oracy. PE and Sport is also a strength of our school and we have achieved School Games Gold status for the past three years and are regularly in the top 3 schools for participation in sporting events in the city.

What are we looking for?

An individual with passion and drive who role-models excellence in teaching and learning.

Someone who is excited about engaging with CPD to develop their practice towards excellence.

An individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys the challenge of responding flexibly to meet the needs of the pupils.

What can we offer?

A comprehensive and bespoke CPD package underpinned by coaching (An accredited Area of Excellence by Challenge Partners in 2023)

Opportunities to collaborate with schools and practitioners across the Trust sharing best practice and resources

A dedicated pastoral team of DSLs, behaviour mentor, learning mentor, school counsellor and school dog to support wellbeing

Wellbeing support for colleagues through our “Care Team” of volunteers led by our School Counsellor
