What the school offers its staff

Now is a really exciting time to be joining Colne Primet Academy as we go through a period of rapid expansion, both in terms of staff and student numbers and with extensive new building and refurbishment work recently completed and opened from September 2024.

We currently have 875 students on roll from a diverse range of backgrounds, and the students numbers continue to grow up to our full capacity of 1050 over the next few years. Throughout the school, we have students who speak 23 different languages. Working with such a diverse community brings lots of opportunities for students to learn more about each other and themselves.

By joining the Primet family you will become part of a supportive and ambitious team. The core drive of being part of the Primet staff team is about wanting the best for our students, and to help them overcome any barriers to their success. Our aim here at Colne Primet Academy is to give each and every child the very best educational start in life. At all times, we guide, support and inspire.

Further details about the role

Our cover supervisors work as a team to deliver lessons within our study room, with potentially up to 5 classes within this space when needed. This enables students to receive a consistent and high quality learning experience when their normal class teachers are not available. Students are used to this established routine, and understand the systems and expectations of the room, ensuring they are able to get the most out of these lessons and complete as much learning as possible within the hours lesson. The cover supervisors coordinate and feedback on the work completed being returned to the correct teachers, so this can then be followed up in their next lesson. Some lessons will still be covered as individual classes within classrooms, this is mainly where specialist resources are needed such as for computing lessons.
