Job description

Teacher of Primary – Bournville School

Join a primary team recognised for its community spirit and commitment to every child’s success.

We are ambitious for every child – and we’re looking for a teacher who shares our values and is eager to help shape the next phase of our journey.

Deeply rooted in its community and recently nominated for Community School of the Year, Bournville has an on‑site Community Hub and a culture built on care, collaboration and individualised support. We are a close‑knit school, able to draw on the wider expertise and resources of our Secondary team and an established multi‑academy trust.

You will plan, deliver and assess high‑quality, engaging lessons and play an active role in the wider life of our school. We are seeking someone with experience, high expectations and the ambition to grow into a leadership role. As Mr McDermott, our Head of Primary, explains: “We’re looking for a hard‑working, passionate and highly motivated individual who wants the autonomy to drive decisions and improvements from day one. Because we are smaller, teachers get to know every child and can take on whole‑school responsibilities earlier – with clear pathways into leadership. I’m looking for a teacher ready for new challenges within an established multi‑academy trust.” for further insight into Bournville Academy please see the video attached below

We welcome informal visits.

Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
