Thurston Primary Academy are looking to appoint an outstanding Teacher to join our teaching team in a supportive and friendly environment. You will work part-time and be responsible for teaching, planning and reporting assessments. We are looking for a maternity cover teacher who is confident teaching in Early Years.
We are a caring school with a strong team of dedicated staff and governors working towards our key aim, to provide a supportive environment which will enable pupils to achieve their potential across all strands of learning. As a Church of England school, we have a clear Christian ethos and strong ties with the local church.
At the heart of learning is a strong partnership between school and home. We strive hard to achieve this and we work with parents so that together we can provide the very best all-round education for the pupils.
In 2021 we relocated to a larger site in Norton Road, Thurston to accommodate the huge expansion, which will see the school go from being able to accommodate 210 pupils to 420. Our new school provides a modern learning environment for local children, with a current role 347 pupils across 13 classes.
This is a fabulous opportunity to join our supportive and caring team of professionals working with enthusiastic pupils.
