Unlock the Future: Join our Primary Team at The John Wallis Church of England Academy!

Are you an ambitious, motivated, and excellent teacher looking for a career-defining opportunity? If so, we invite you to be part of The John Wallis Church of England Academy family as part of our Primary Team in the Lower School (Years R – 4).

At The John Wallis Academy, we are unwaveringly committed to excellence because we believe in the power of choice. Our mission is clear: we are dedicated to ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, receives a top-tier education that paves the way for real choices in life.

Our staff embody this commitment. They understand the profound importance of delivering an exceptional standard of education, and they stand ready to inspire, motivate, and support our pupils on their educational journey.

Our pupils are a testament to this dedication. They have achieved outstanding results on the phonics screening tests and in the Year 6 SATs. We have enabled our pupils to buck national trends, with pupil premium pupils outperforming others in many areas.

As a member of our Primary Team, you will have the chance to shape the lives of our young pupils while advancing your own career and expertise. We are looking for the best teachers—individuals with outstanding subject knowledge, a commitment to excellence in the classroom, and a passion for unlocking the potential in every child.

At The John Wallis Academy, we believe in attracting the best staff, and we are prepared to offer you an exceptional package:

• Comprehensive Training and Opportunities: We provide a full and comprehensive training program for all staff, tailored to your ambitions, skills, and drives. Regardless of your level of experience, we are committed to nurturing your professional growth and providing opportunities for career progression.

• Balanced Workload: We understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. That's why we offer an 80% teaching timetable for all staff, ensuring ample time for research, team teaching, PPA, and personal well-being.

• Unique Educational Perspective: As an all-through school, The John Wallis Academy provides ambitious educators with the opportunity to understand the educational process and curriculum from ages 0 to 19.

• Family-Friendly Benefits: We offer free childcare through our wrap-around club (running before and after school from 07:30 am – 6:00 pm) for primary-aged pupils and a 25% discount on fees at our on-site, term-time-only Nursery provision (rated Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted), making life easier for our dedicated staff.

• Collaborative Opportunities: Our partnership with Benenden School opens doors to their expertise and facilities, allowing you to expand your knowledge and network.

• Enriched Curriculum: Our curriculum not only focuses on exam success but also genuinely enriches the educational experience through regular trips, visits, and guest speakers via our dedicated Expanding Horizons Curriculum.

• Supportive Leadership: You'll work within our mini-school structure, guided by a supportive extended leadership team and Faculty Directors overseeing heads of subjects.
