Additional allowances
For the right candidate, we are offering a TLR 2 to take a greater role within the wider leadership of the academy by leading a core subject. This specific role would not be suitable for NQTs, and would suit a teacher who has sufficient classroom teaching experience within Key Stage Two to enable them to fulfil this role. There is scope that this role could further develop into a senior leadership role, depending on the candidate and their wealth of experience. We are keen to develop staff such as through the National Professional Qualification programme and in-school coaching and mentoring, and would really like to hear from you if you are keen to take your next step in leadership and make your mark!
All teachers will receive 10% Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA) time each week, in addition to release time for NQTs or Subject Leadership. For more experienced teachers, or those looking to fast-track perhaps in their second or third year of teaching, we have a range of different leadership opportunities available where you could lead on various subjects or areas of the school. Whatever your teaching background, we would love to hear from you!

To deliver high quality teaching and learning to pupils who are assigned to the post-holder.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Class teachers are directly responsible and accountable to the Headteacher, and in his absence, the Deputy Headteacher.
MAIN DUTIES
All teachers work within the statutory conditions of employment set out in the current School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document. The duties listed below are not, therefore, an exhaustive list of what is required.
• Be responsible for the quality of teaching and learning of all pupils who are assigned to the post-holder.
• Contribute to a positive ethos in which all pupils have access to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum.
• Supervise the work of any support staff, including higher level teaching assistants and support teachers, who are assigned to work with the post-holder’s pupils.
• Provide leadership across the school in a designated subject or curriculum area (except Newly Qualified Teachers), which will include:
i) monitoring quality and standards
ii) contributing to school planning and self-evaluation
iii) providing professional support to other teachers and support staff
iv) advising the headteacher on appropriate resources and materials
v) leading appropriate professional development.
All of the Class Teachers at Green Ridge are line-managed by their Phase Leader/Head of Learning for their Key Stage. Class Teachers are responsible for the day-to-day teaching and learning provision for all children in their class, including those with Special Educational Needs, English as an Additional Language, those more-able learners and those eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant. You will receive coaching and mentoring from experienced leaders in the academy to ensure that you are supported in all aspects of what you do.
Therefore, we welcome applications from experienced teachers as well as those Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs).
Commitment to safeguarding
At REAch2 we recognise that those who work in an academy are in a unique position in their care of children. The responsibility for all staff to safeguard pupils and promote their welfare, as stated in Section 175 of the Education Act (2002) is one that is central to our ethos, our policies and our actions. All children are deserving of the highest levels of care and safeguarding, regardless of their individual characteristics or circumstances, and we are committed to applying our policies to ensure effective levels of safeguarding and care are afforded to all our pupils.

Green Ridge Academy is a new primary school built on Berryfields, which opened in September 2017 in temporary accommodation on the site of the permanent building. The permanent school building opened in September 2018. In September 2023, the academy will be two-form entry from Nursery through to Year Six, taking children from aged 2-11, with two bulge classes in YR and Y1 as we continue our preparations to become a 3-form entry school. Whilst the school currently has the capacity for over 450 children, this is an exciting time at Green Ridge, as we continue to grow our site is being expanded with the additional capacity so that by September 2024, our building will be able to accommodate over 650 children. Exciting!
