Job overview

K158/0614

We are looking to appoint an innovative and well qualified classroom teacher to join our successful academy. This is a unique opportunity for a talented and ambitious professional to join our team in this new dynamic Partnership Trust.

We offer an outstanding professional development programme and a successful, supportive and highly strategic Senior Leadership Team.

Our School is a two-form entry with approximately 370 pupils aged 4-11, part time nursery provision and a Children's Centre. We offer excellent facilities, well equipped classrooms and well maintained outdoor play areas.

The average class size is 24 and staff work in year group teams to collaboratively plan and deliver high quality lessons. All teachers are supported by teaching assistants. We believe that support staff play a critical role in securing outstanding progress in pupils' learning.

Kenyngton Manor Primary School began working with The Howard Partnership Trust a term after the school was judged to be in need of Special Measures (Autumn 2012). In November 2013, two terms after The Partnership's support began; Ofsted re-inspected the school, removed it from Special Measures and judged the Leadership and Management to be good. This represents one of the fastest rates of recovery of any school placed in a category following an inspection. The School is now on an exciting journey to secure a good or better overall judgement at the next inspection.

OFSTED Comments (November 2013):

  • Strong and determined leadership by the Executive Headteacher and the Head of School has led to rapid improvement, particularly in the last nine months
  • Collaboration with The Howard Partnership has made a strong contribution to the school's improvement
  • Pupils feel safe and secure in school. Their welfare is given high priority
  • The results of the statutory tests in 2013 show that standards are improving
  • Relationships between adult and pupils are good
