Class Teacher

Parklands Educate Together Primary Academy is a two form entry school, part of an Academy Trust that also has schools in Bristol, Keynsham, Bath, Weston-Super-Mare and Swindon. We received a Good Ofsted in January 2023, demonstrating our commitment to high quality learning for our children and reinforcing us as a popular choice in the local community.

We are currently looking for a part time teacher to join our growing school one day per week to teach a KS1 class. The working day will be Friday and there is no flexibility around this. This is a fixed term contract to cover the flexible working request of the post-holder for 12 months. 

• Can you actively support our Educate Together ethos and prove you are already living it?
• Do you consider yourself a flexible, forward thinking teacher who can teach throughout a primary school?
• Can you demonstrate the ability to innovate and explore new ideas?
• Can you demonstrate that you can enable children to make very good progress and achieve high standards, while delivering a broad and balanced curriculum?
• Do you believe that education can be optimistic and fun to work in and you should be able to change things?
• Are you flexible, keen to lend a hand and enthusiastic about the opportunities?

If ethical education is vital to you, this is an exciting opportunity to join Educate Together.

Our schools operate under the following principles:

• Equity-based - Through being equitable in our work, all children and staff will have equal access to their rights and, regardless of background, all will be equally respected.
• Aspirational - All of our children have the right to a holistic world class education. All of our work aims to ensure that every           child can make progress and achieve well in every aspect of their education
• Child – centred - Children are at the heart of every decision and activity. Their voices are actively sought and listened to. They play a lead role in shaping their education.
• Collaborative - Our schools aim to be central to the communities they serve.

Our ideal teacher will:

• Be eager to join the Educate Together Academy Trust that has a proven model and track record in teacher support, encouragement and development
• Understand fully the importance of working closely with families from a diverse background
• Be familiar with a school culture led by a strong ethos and distinct values

The Curriculum:

The unique Learn Together ethical curriculum is taught every day in an integrated way alongside the National Curriculum. The Learn Together curriculum covers four strands:

• Moral and Spiritual
• Equality and Justice
• Belief Systems
• Ethics and Environment

We will offer teachers:

• A supportive and inclusive environment
• A genuine commitment to teacher well- being and development
• Staff development opportunities
• The opportunity to build a career in the direction you choose as we grow as a MAT
